How to read these scores: 10 = perfect, 0 = at or over the legal limit. A score of 0 does not necessarily mean the water is unsafe — it means that specific parameter is at its maximum legal level. The official SINAC certification (APTA / NO APTA) is the authoritative safety indicator. Only readings from the last 6 months are included — older data is excluded to keep scores current.

👅 Chlorine taste/smell

Category: taste · Legal limit: 0.2–1.0 mg/L required

4/10 Needs attention

0.8 mg/L. Chlorine is legally required (minimum 0.2 mg/L) to keep water safe as it travels through pipes. High chlorine level — a noticeable taste and smell. Letting water stand in an open glass for a few minutes will reduce it.

💎 Water hardness

Category: Hardness · Legal limit: no legal limit

6/10 Fair

245 mg/L CaCO3 — classified as hard. Hard water — expect noticeable limescale on appliances, kettles and taps. Soap may not lather as well. Not a health concern. There is no legal limit for hardness as it poses no health risk.
