THIS INFORMATION WILL ENABLE YOU TO SELECT THE CORRECT PRODUCT.
Tell tale signs...
If you live in a hard water area, 60% of the UK does, you will know the tell tale signs ~ furring of appliances, scale deposits in a heating system, noisy radiators and reduced flow and efficiency.
It is important to know the level of water hardness and putting the correct solution in place can save money.
Follow these simple instructions, to use the droplet test, the water hardness can then be accurately measured.

ppm - relates to parts per million of hardness in the water. Any reading above 100ppm will result in a water hardness problem. |
EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS...
All you have to do is remove the Water Hardness Reagent bottle from the test tube and fill the test tube from the cold water tap up to the 10mm mark.
Remove the Water Hardness Reagent lid. Squeezing the bottle gently, add one drop at a time and mix between drops until the colour changes from red to blue.
Be sure to count the drops, then multiply by 20 to give your water hardness reading.
