How the calculator works

The calculator combines four inputs to estimate your annual cost of hard water: your postcode (which gives us your local hardness reading from Thames Water), household size, number of bathrooms, and boiler age. It then estimates your annual saving with a softener installed.

Postcode → hardness

Live Thames Water data gives us your actual hardness in ppm. Oxfordshire averages 300+.

Household → water usage

Larger households use more hot water — and pay more in boiler scale damage and detergent waste.

Bathrooms → appliance load

More bathrooms = more taps, showers, glass surfaces accumulating limescale. Each adds to the annual cost.

Boiler age → efficiency loss

Older boilers have more scale build-up. Younger boilers have more future damage to prevent — both add cost.
