Soft

Northumbrian Water

Water in Newcastle upon Tyne

  • Newcastle has soft water supplied by Northumbrian Water, largely from Kielder Water and other upland reservoirs.
  • Kielder is the largest artificial lake in the UK by capacity, and the regional supply it anchors is both soft and unusually secure.
  • Water softeners have essentially no market here, and any householder being sold one in Newcastle should ask what problem it is solving.
  • Filtration demand centres on drinking water taste and on protecting appliances from sediment in older properties rather than from scale.
  • The North East's commercial filtration work is driven by hospitality and by food production rather than by scale protection.

You have soft water — there is no limescale problem to fix.

A water softener would be money spent on a problem you do not have, and anyone trying to sell you one here is worth questioning. If you want to improve your water it will be about taste, chlorine or older pipework, not hardness. Soft water is also slightly more inclined to dissolve metals from old plumbing, which is a different reason to filter drinking water.

What to consider in Newcastle upon Tyne

Based on soft water, not on what earns us the most.

Reverse osmosis

A multi-stage system that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, removing the overwhelming majority of dissolved substances. The most thorough domestic filtration available.

TDS meters

A pocket meter measuring total dissolved solids in parts per million. The standard way to check whether an RO membrane is still doing its job.

Filter taps

A dedicated tap for filtered water, or a three-way tap combining hot, cold and filtered in a single spout.

Cartridges

The consumable at the heart of every filtration system, and the thing most likely to be forgotten until the water tastes wrong again.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need reverse osmosis in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Probably not, if you are on mains water. UK mains supply is treated to a high standard, and the taste and chlorine complaints most people have are handled by a carbon filter at a fraction of the cost. RO earns its place on private supplies, for specific contaminants, or for aquariums and specialist coffee.
Why can't I fit reverse osmosis myself?
The filter side is manageable; the drain connection is not. It must be made so waste water can never siphon back into the drinking supply, which is a backflow protection requirement. Get it wrong and you have plumbed a contamination route into your own water without any way of noticing.
