I think my water supply is making my skin itch. What should I do?

Skin irritation can be caused by a number of things, such as laundry detergents and soaps. Nickel in plumbing fittings, particularly taps, can also be a source of skin irritation.

While water hardness is not harmful to your health, it may affect existing skin conditions such as eczema. You can check the hardness of your water using our water quality checker.

If you are worried about itchy skin, contact a health professional for advice on what to do. If you think it has been caused by your water supply, please contact us so that we can investigate.
