HI-3840 Hardness Test Kit (0-150 mg/L) at GAPS Water Treatment

Ensure precise, low-range water hardness measurement with the HI-3840 Hardness Test Kit, expertly supplied by GAPS Water Treatment. This reliable testing solution provides accurate results for managing water quality and maintaining optimal system performance. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, it empowers users to mitigate the damaging effects of scaling and clogging caused by hard water. 

Why Measuring Water Hardness is Important

Water hardness, traditionally defined by the ability of water to precipitate soap, is now quantified as a measurement of calcium and magnesium ions in the water. Other ions, such as iron, zinc, and manganese, also contribute to the overall hardness. Monitoring and controlling water hardness is essential to prevent pipe scaling, reduce maintenance, and ensure the smooth operation of your water systems.

With the HI-3840 test kit, you can precisely measure these ion concentrations at low levels, making it a valuable tool for proactive water management.


Chemical Reaction

The HI-3840 test kit employs a titrimetric method for determining total hardness. During the process, calcium and magnesium react with EDTA, a chelating agent, and the endpoint of the reaction is visually indicated by a distinct color change from red to blue. This reliable method ensures an accurate and easy-to-read result.


What’s Included in the HI-3840 Test Kit

Each kit contains carefully selected components to guarantee accurate and convenient water hardness testing:

  • 30 mL Hardness LR Reagent – Special formula for low-range hardness measurements in water.
  • 50 mL Calibrated Vessel – Ensures correct sample size for maximum accuracy.

This combination of components enables quick and consistent testing for informed decision-making about water treatment needs.
