The Our Taap Water Confidence Index
Find out what's in your water.
Most people never quite know why their kettle furs up faster after a house move, or why tea tastes different at their parents'. Because nobody's really explaining it, a lot of people are quietly losing confidence in what's coming out of their tap.
We think that's worth fixing - so we built a tool that shows you exactly what's in yours.
Enter your postcode
We check against public water quality reports from over 20 UK water companies — over 1,327 supply zones and provide one easy-to-understand quality report.
What will the Water Confidence Index show you?
Enter your postcode and we'll give you a full breakdown of your local water - what it contains, whether levels are within optimal ranges, and what that means for taste, scent and quality.
It's designed to answer three simple questions most people have but rarely get a straight answer to:
- Is my water safe to drink?
- What's actually in it?
- Why does it taste or smell the way it does?
No jargon. No scare tactics. Just a clear, honest picture of your water - and what, if anything, is worth doing about it.
How your water tastes.
The quality of your water directly affects how it tastes - and that can change day to day. So if you've had a feeling your water tastes a bit off lately, you're probably not wrong.
Chlorine can leave a faint swimming pool taste. Hard water brings a chalky edge - most noticeable in tea and coffee. And in older properties, ageing pipework can add a faint metallic note. All worth knowing about.
