NNGYK's 2024 data list Csányoszró, in Baranya county, at 366.8 mg/L CaCO₃, which is very hard. The supply source is not confirmed here, so this is the published figure for the settlement. Heating elements and kettles will scale quickly, and regular descaling or a softener helps.
Hungarian suppliers report total hardness in German degrees (nk°) or mg/L CaO; the limit is 50–350 mg/L CaO.

What it means at home

How much salt will you use for softening?
Yes. At this hardness a softener pays for itself through appliance life and detergent.
Descale a coffee machine or kettle about every 1 months (typical manufacturer guidance for this hardness).
