It is now a softish water area. The once very soft water flowing all the way from Elan Valley, Wales was hardened slightly to prevent lead being absorbed from the many houses that still have lead water mains. Lead in drinking water causes brain damage in children.

How hard is hard water?
It all depends on how fast you are going when you hit it.=============================================Water hardness varies from area to area. Hard water is water that has high mineral content (in contrast with soft water). Hard water minerals primarily consist of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) metal cations, and sometimes other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates.Because it is the precise mixture of minerals dissolved in the water, together with the water's pH and temperature, that determines the behaviour of the hardness, a single-number scale does not adequately describe hardness. Descriptions of hardness correspond roughly with ranges of mineral concentrations:Very soft: 0-70 ppm, 0-4 dGH (degrees of General Hardness)Soft: 70-140 ppm, 4-8 dGHSlightly hard: 140-210 ppm, 8-12 dGHModerately hard: 210-320 ppm, 12-18 dGHHard: 320-530 ppm, 18-30 dGHVery hard >530 ppm, >30 dGHAccording to the British Drinking Water Inspectorate shows that drinking water in England is generally considered to be 'very hard', with most areas of England, particularly east of a line between the Severn and Tees estuaries, exhibiting above 200 ppm for the calcium carbonate equivalent. Wales, Devon, Cornwall and parts of North-West England are softer water areas, and range from 0 to 200 ppm.More than 85% of American homes have hard water. The softest waters occur in parts of the New England, South Atlantic-Gulf, Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii regions. Moderately hard waters are common in many of the rivers of the Tennessee Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest and Alaska regions. Hard and very hard waters are found in some of the streams in most of the regions throughout the country. Hardest waters (greater than 1,000 ppm) are in streams in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Arizona, and southern California.Source: DWI, Wikipedia,See link below for more information
Why is rain water soft but river water hard?
rain water soft whilst falling,when it hits the ground or into rivers it mixes minerals etc which in in turn turn it hard some area like devon it stay soft
What chemicals do you use to treat for hard water in pool?
You do not treat pool water hardness with chemicals. If you have hard water in your area then you need to know what the allowable maximum of water hardness is before the water needs to be changed. You remove or reduce the hardness in water by draining and refilling the pool. K
What occurs where a river meets an area that is very hard and erodes slowly?
If given enough time, the river will erode the area, but before that it will either run over the area if there is enough water, or will form a lake when it doesn't have enough water to continue.
Why are some water samples harder than others?
The rocks in the area may be different, the may be limestone which is calcuim which causes water to become hard
Tap water is hard water or soft water?
Tap water with lots of dissolved limestone is hard. If the calcium ions are replaced with sodium ions it is said to be soft. To determine if your tap water is hard, you can test it by using tincture of green soap. The softer the water, the more the foam. See the attached link.
