Fulwood water is a little harder — here's what that means

Most of Preston is on soft water, but parts of Fulwood are fed by United Utilities' Preston/Fulwood supply zone, which averaged around 136 mg/l over the past year — classed as slightly hard. Other parts of PR2 test soft (around 82–85 mg/l).

Slightly hard water isn't a problem, but it does mean a bit more limescale: on shower heads and taps, and slowly inside a combi boiler's hot water heat exchanger. On a new boiler install in a harder-water area we'll talk you through whether a scale reducer is worth fitting. If your shower has lost its punch, descaling the head is the first thing to try — see low water pressure: causes and fixes. Full figures are in Is Preston water hard or soft?

Heating that's not keeping up?

Cold spots, noisy pipes and radiators cold at the bottom are usually sludge, air or balancing — rarely a dead boiler. Start with radiator cold at the bottom? and boiler noises explained.
