Hard water in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté — 25-45°f hardness

In brief

  • • Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: typical hardness 25-45°f
  • • LIMPEO: scale reduction, works at any hardness

Water Hardness in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

The Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region typically has a water hardness of 25–45°f (French degrees). This hardness is explained by the geology of the subsoil: limestone plateaus of the Jura.

The main cities affected: Dijon, Besançon, Auxerre, Mâcon.

To find the exact hardness for your municipality, visit qualite-eau.fr (French Ministry of Health portal) or consult our complete map of water hardness in France.

Impact of Limescale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

With a hardness of 25–45°f, water in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté is moderately to very hard. The consequences:

  • Scale deposits on pipes, water heaters and household appliances
  • Energy overconsumption of 7 to 25% depending on deposit thickness
  • White marks on taps and shower walls
  • Dry skin and dull hair
  • Reduced lifespan of appliances by 30 to 50%

Why is the water so hard in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
Because of the geology. The region sits on the limestone plateaus of the Jura, which produces moderately to very hard water (25-45°f). The cities affected include Dijon, Besançon, Auxerre and Mâcon, all supplied by this limestone subsoil.
Does LIMPEO work with hard water at 25-45°f?
Yes. LIMPEO transforms calcite into aragonite regardless of calcium concentration, so it adapts to every hardness level found across the region. It works with no chemicals and no salt, and the water keeps its minerals.
