The NNGYK 2024 listing reports 199.9 mg/L for Mezőkomárom in Fejér county, which is very hard. No supply zone or source is named in the data, so this is the reported town value only. Expect limescale on taps and in kettles, but less than in towns above 400 mg/L.
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
- Severe scale: heater elements and washing-machine heaters fail early.
- Detergent use is very high; taps and screens coat within days.
- Dishwasher at maximum salt setting.
- An ion-exchange softener is practically essential; RO for drinking water.
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).
