About the water supply in Torremolinos

The tap water in Torremolinos is certified safe to drink. However, it has some concerns, including low scores for free chlorine, hardness, odour, and taste, which affect all networks. This may impact the taste of your drinking water and could affect appliances over time due to hardness. Overall, the water quality remains high, ensuring safety for daily use.

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 year are included — older data is excluded to keep scores current.

⚠ Parameters scoring below 8 — explained

👅 Chlorine taste/smell
Category: Taste · Legal limit: 0.2–1.0 mg/L required
4/10 Needs attention
0.8 mg/L. Chlorine is legally required (minimum 0.2 mg/L) to keep water safe as it travels through pipes. High chlorine level — a noticeable taste and smell. Letting water stand in an open glass for a few minutes will reduce it.
Network: ASTOSAM-TORREMOLINOS-RED TORREMOLINOS · Value: 0.8 · Date: 01/07/2026
💎 Water hardness
Category: Hardness · Legal limit: no legal limit
6/10 Fair
240 mg/L CaCO3 — classified as hard. Hard water — expect noticeable limescale on appliances, kettles and taps. Soap may not lather as well. Not a health concern. There is no legal limit for hardness as it poses no health risk.
