Water safety in East of England
Some of the hardest water in the UK is found across East Anglia and Essex, so shower heads, hoses and TMV strainers scale up quickly and need a planned cleaning regime.
Typical properties we work with in East of England include market towns, research campuses, logistics parks, agricultural sites and commuter housing. Water supply in the region is generally hard to very hard.
