    Just wandering if there's a guide hardness level for Galway city area/Knocknacarra. We've a dishwasher with instructions on measuring out amount of salt to add based on water hardness and I'm stumped.

    Hi Gatica,

    Thank you for your message.

    We don't have a guide in relation to water hardness. Householders should ensure that dishwashers are set according to manufacturer's instructions. In general, reducing the temperature of your hot water to 60 degrees celsius or lower can decrease scale deposition.

    As hard water is not harmful to health, it is not considered a priority at this time. Due to the challenges facing our national water services, Irish Water's focus for the foreseeable future will be on the provision of clean drinking water, the reduction of water leaks and supply depletion, and the disposal of wastewater in a manner that protects the environment.

    We hope this information helps. If you have any further queries, please let us know.

    Kind regards,
    Louise
