Fix / de-scale kitchen tap

After my kitchen mixer has been in place about 7 years, both hot and cold began to drip. I opened them up, more in hope than expectation, but I found scale deposits on the ceramic disc, which were quite easily removed, and all was well.

Perhaps the hardest part is knowing how to gain access; once in it may be simple to fix.

Not all areas. All of Cornwall and Devon has soft water, some other areas have medium soft. There are also a few areas in the north that have hard water. there are also a few pockets of the south that have soft water, but generally, yes, the south has mainly hard.

Indeed, there are several areas in the north east that have hard water.

AS someone pointed out, its really an east west divide. Granite to the west of the pennines and sometimes chalks and clays to the east.

Most of Wales, the west country, Cumbria and nearly all of scotland is soft.

Its the south east, well up as far as Lincoln and beyond that is all limestone and chalk.

You may not have reached the same potential. No way to tell.

Most plumbers use compression fittings, much quicker.

No they don't. Compression fittings are far more expensive and less reliable.
