What to know about Edinburgh water and installers

Scottish Water supplies Edinburgh from Megget, Talla and Glencorse reservoirs with hardness typically under 50 mg/l. Limescale is a non-issue for boiling taps in Edinburgh. Most Edinburgh-based installers quote around 230 to 290 pounds for a Quooker or Fohen fit, with central postcodes commanding a small premium.

Filter recommendation

No filter required for scale. A small carbon filter improves taste if you find the chlorine pronounced.
