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.
⚠ Parameters scoring below 8 — explained
💎 Water hardness
Category: Hardness · Legal limit: no legal limit
2/10Needs attention
438 mg/L CaCO3 — classified as extremely hard. Very hard water — significant limescale buildup on appliances. Water softener or filter recommended for kettles and washing machines. Safe to drink but has a mineral taste. There is no legal limit for hardness as it poses no health risk.

💎 Total dissolved minerals
Category: Hardness · Legal limit: 2500 µS/cm
5.3/10Fair
1430 µS/cm (limit 2500 µS/cm). Conductivity measures the overall dissolved mineral content. High mineral content — noticeably mineralized, may affect taste.

🛡️ Trihalomethanes (THMs)
Category: Safety · Legal limit: 100 µg/L
7.8/10Good
22 µg/L — 22% of the 100 µg/L legal limit. Trihalomethanes form when chlorine (used to disinfect water) reacts with natural organic matter. They are safe at these levels but are a reason some people prefer to filter tap water. Low level — minimal concern.
