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:

  • Simple Dip-Wait-Read Testing Method
  • Low cost and high accuracy
  • Test strips are stored in a plastic container to protect them
  • Ideal for quick and reliable testing of water
  • Accurate results are achieved less than one minute
  • This product is safe and easy to use since there are no chemicals to mix, an MSDS is not required

With total hardness water quality test strips you are in control and can find out exactly where your calcium level is before it becomes a problem.

Understanding your Results:

  • Hardness greater than 80ppm: Detergents with softening agents are not completely effective in cleaning
  • Hardness greater than 120ppm: Some scaling will occur in pipes and appliances
  • Hardness greater than 250ppm: Dishwasher impossible to use without producing film on dishes

Suitable for: fresh water samples, including water from taps, wells, springs, boreholes, ponds, as well as rain water

How to Use:

  1. Dip one strip into a water sample for 3 seconds.
  2. Remove and immediately match to the colour chart. Complete colour matching within 1 minute.

Contains: 50 strips

Sensitivity: 0, 40, 80, 120, 180, 250, 425, 1000 ppm (mg/l) or 0, 2, 5, 7, 11, 15, 25, 58 gpg
