If you go onto the external website for Northumbrian Water, there will be a page from which you can download an approximate water profile for your postcode. As there is some connectivity within water networks, this will only be an outline.

If your water comes from reservoirs, it will typically contain very few minerals, as it will be from run-off rainfall. The main uncertainty arises where water comes predominantly from boreholes into underground aquifers.

I don't know the actual breakdown but you should be able to get an idea of that from the website as Slid suggests. However I do know that most of the North East has very soft water apart from Hartlepool which is hard, hard, hard! Don't know why.

Hi Thanks for the reply found the following https://www.nwl.co.uk/globalassets/...nk-digital-documents---all-documents/T203.pdf . But unfortunately does not seem to have values i need to enter for water profile .

Longnewton reservoir is a small freshwater lake and will contain a minimal amount of the minerals you need for brewing. Just leave the values you don't have as 0 and put the rest, such as they are, into Strange Steve's water calculator.

You should hear back from them.
I got a very detailed water report from Thames Water.

Mind you that was 25yrs ago,When customer service still meant something.

I live north east and we get Northumbrian water. Where do you live? I sent my water off about a year ago for a report. Happy to send this on to your if or any use. I’m assuming there won’t be much change to the water profile since the report was done
