Calcium Hardness

Calcium Hardness is caused by the presence of calcium ions in the water. Calcium salts can be readily precipitated from water and high levels of calcium hardness tend to promote scale formation in the water system. Calcium hardness is an important control test in industrial water systems such as boilers and steam raising plants, and for swimming pools.

The following products are available to test for Calcium Hardness:

Comparator Kits

Comparator tests use visual standards to assess the colour produced when reagents are added to a sample of water. Tablet reagents are used with these kits for maximum simplicity and convenience.

Drop Count Kits

Drop count tests are the simplest form of test for many industrial water parameters. Just take a sample of the water, add an indicator tablet or a drop of indicator solution, then add the test reagent drop by drop until a colour change takes place.
