FAQs - Water Hardness Test

What is water hardness?

Water hardness is caused by naturally occurring calcium and magnesium minerals dissolved in the water supply. Higher hardness levels can contribute to limescale build-up on appliances, pipework, taps and showers.

Why should I test my water hardness?

Knowing your water hardness level can help determine whether a water softener or limescale reduction solution may be beneficial. It can also assist with appliance maintenance and detergent dosing recommendations.

How do I interpret the results?

Simply compare the colour change on the test strip to the supplied colour chart to determine the hardness level of your water. The results provide a quick indication of whether your water is soft, moderately hard, hard or very hard, helping you choose the most appropriate treatment solution if required.
