How hard is the water in East Wittering?
Water hardness reading in East Wittering:
280 ppm (very hard)
The mains water in East Wittering is hard. This is the reason.
For residents of East Wittering, unless you take remedial action and get a water softener installed in your home, you’ll be living with consistently hard water flowing from your taps. If there’s any consolation, it’s much the same story throughout the rest of West Sussex, Hampshire and East Sussex. This is because the whole region lies on chalky or clay-based soil, which contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. Rain actually falls as soft water but, when it comes into contact with these minerals, it becomes hard.
In East Wittering, the water hardness levels are at around 280 parts per million (ppm). Anything registering over 200ppm is said to be hard. If it gets to 300ppm, then it’s time to start thinking about wearing a tin hat in the shower!

Highly recommend! I spoke to Kristie on the phone who was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Scott carried out the installation to a very tidy and high standard. Very knowledgeable and I was given all the information I need.
Excellent customer service. Thank you so much.
Scott recently supplied and installed an EcoWater Evolution Refiner Power system in our home. We are happy with the improvement in our water quality. The overall experience has been very good. Scott visited to advise us on the most suitable machine for our household and also liaised with our plumber to ensure the correct connections to and from the system. Communications throughout were good – we knew what to expect and when. The installation went pretty smoothly, taking a little longer than expected because, on checking the initial set-up, Scott found a small problem causing a slight leak but he made sure that that was resolved to his own satisfaction before he left. After-sales support seems strong too – Scott has stayed in touch, however we have not needed anything to date. Recommended!
