What to know about Birmingham water and installers

Severn Trent supplies most of Birmingham, with very soft water from the Welsh hills (typically 50 to 75 mg/l). Boiling taps run scale-free for years here without a filter. Installer labour rates in the West Midlands are among the lowest in the UK at 190 to 280 pounds for a standard fit.

Filter recommendation

Filtration is optional. A non-filtered Quooker, Qettle Original or Fohen will perform flawlessly long-term in this region.
