Hardness Test Kit

In history, water hardness was defined by the capacity of water to precipitate soap. The ionic species in the water causing precipitation was later found to be mainly calcium and magnesium. In the present, therefore, water hardness is actually a quantitative measure of these ions in the water sample. It is also now known that certain other ion species, such as iron, zinc and manganese, contribute to overall water hardness. The measure and subsequent control of water hardness is essential to prevent scaling and clogging in water pipes.

The hardness test kit makes monitoring easy, quick and safe. The kit can be used anywhere and is easy to handle. 

The kit contains;

  • Hardness buffer, 1 bottle with dropper(30mL)

  • Calmagite Indicator, 1 bottle with dropper (10mL)

  • HI 3812-0 EDTA Solution, 1 bottle(120mL)

  • 1 plastic beaker (20mL) with cap;

  • 1 plastic beaker (50mL) with cap;

  • 1 syringe (1mL) with tip.
