Description

SimplexHealth Total Hardness test strips are perfect to test the hardness of your water, to check the performance of your water softener, for service work, classroom demonstrations, or to give to customers instead of an expensive service call. This full range test kit lets you measure hardness on a very wide range of 0ppm to 1000ppm (mg/l).

(ppm = parts per million)

The definition of water hardness is most commonly expressed as milligrams of calcium carbonate equivalent per litre*:

  • Soft: calcium carbonate at concentrations below 60mg/l (<60ppm)
  • Moderately hard: water contains calcium carbonate at concentrations between 60 and 120mg (60 to 120ppm)
  • Hard: above 120 and 180mg (120 to 180ppm)
  • Very hard water contains more than 180mg (>180ppm)

(*Source WHO. The definition of soft to hard water varies slightly between publications of various industry bodies.)

Total Hardness test strips for water quality offer a wide range of detection and are calibrated to be both accurate and sensitive:
