FAQs
What does this indicator measure?
It measures the total concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in the water sample.
How should I store the 65ml bottle?
Store in a cool, dry place, keeping the cap tightly sealed to maintain chemical integrity.
Can I use this for drinking water?
Yes, it is suitable for testing the mineral content of drinking water to determine hardness levels.
Does the temperature of the water sample affect the result?
For best accuracy, water samples should be at room temperature before performing the test.
How many tests can I perform with 65ml?
The total number of tests depends on the hardness level of the water and the specific titration method used, but 65ml typically provides enough for many routine tests.
Troubleshooting
Color change is difficult to distinguish
Perform the test against a white background under bright, neutral lighting.
Unexpectedly low hardness reading
Check if the reagent bottle has been left open and replace if the solution appears discolored or cloudy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Total Hardness Indicator, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Before use, ensure the testing vial is clean and free from residue of previous tests to prevent cross-contamination. This reagent is compatible with standard titration testing methods. Always ensure the cap is tightly closed immediately after use to prevent oxidation. The product does not require specific electronic calibration but should be checked against a control sample if left unused for an extended period.
