Hydrion Water Hardness Test
0-50 Grains Per Gallon Tests
pHydrion
Water Hardness Tester
Will tell you if your water needs treatment - and give you an estimate of the amount of treatment required. And then it will enable you to tell if the treatment has been effective.
Hard water problems plague 75% of the United States - • building up boiler scale • leaving soap curds in laundry • depositing films from rinse water.
The Hydrion Water Hardness Tester makes this vital information available to you in minutes at negligible cost. It eliminates the need for laboratory facilities, special equipment or technically trained personnel.
With this convenient dispenser in your pocket, you can take a reading at a moment's notice anyplace. Just dip and read! Soft water? Hard water? Don't guess... Find the answer in seconds!
Low Range and High Range
The Hydrion Water Hardness Tester consists of two different 15 foot rolls
of test paper, each with its own calibrated color chart and all contained in a compact,
ready to use dispenser. One paper gives readings at 0-5-10-20 grains per gallon of
hardness as calcium carbonate. (5 grains per gallon represents moderately hard water.)
The other paper is for hard water and gives readings at 10-20-30-50 grains per gallon
of hardness.
Hydrion water hardness tester, complete, in polypropylene case with brochure explaining
how to do test.

Household Problems of Hard Water
Hard water interferes with almost every cleaning task from laundering and dishwashing to bathing and personal grooming. Clothes laundered in hard water may look dingy and feel harsh and scratchy. Dishes and glasses may be spotted when dry. Hard water may cause a film on glass shower doors, shower walls, bathtubs, sinks, faucets, etc. Hair washed in hard water may feel sticky and look dull. Water flow may be reduced by deposits in pipes.
Dealing with hard water problems in the home can be a nuisance. The amount of hardness minerals in water affects the amount of soap and detergent necessary for cleaning. Soap used in hard water combines with the minerals to form a sticky soap curd. Some synthetic detergents are less effective in hard water because the active ingredient is partially inactivated by hardness, even though it stays dissolved.
Bathing with soap in hard water leaves a film of sticky soap curd on the skin. The film may prevent removal of soil and bacteria. Soap curd interferes with the return of skin to its normal, slightly acid condition, and may lead to irritation. Soap curd on hair may make it dull, lifeless and difficult to manage.
When doing laundry in hard water, soap curds lodge in fabric during washing to make fabric stiff and rough. Incomplete soil removal from laundry causes graying of white fabric and the loss of brightness in colors. A sour odor can develop in clothes. Continuous laundering in hard water can shorten the life of clothes. In addition, soap curds can deposit on dishes, bathtubs and showers, and all water fixtures.
Hard water also contributes to inefficient and costly operation of water-using appliances. Heated hard water forms a scale of calcium and magnesium minerals that can contribute to the inefficient operation or failure of water-using appliances. Pipes can become clogged with scale that reduces water flow and ultimately requires pipe replacement.
Hard Water Testing
The hardness of your water will be reported in grains per gallon, milligrams per liter (mg/l) or parts per million (ppm). One grain of hardness equals 17.1 mg/l or ppm of hardness.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes standards for drinking water which fall into two categories -- Primary Standards and Secondary Standards.
Primary Standards are based on health considerations and Secondary Standards are based on taste, odor, color, corrosivity, foaming, and staining properties of water. There is no Primary or Secondary standard for water hardness. Water hardness is classified by the U.S. Department of Interior and the Water Quality Association as follows:
| Classification | mg/l | ppm grains/gal |
Soft
Slightly Hard
Moderately Hard
Hard
Very Hard |
0 - 17.1
17.1 - 60
60 - 120
120 - 180
180 & over |
0 - 1
1 - 3.5
3.5 - 7.0
7.0 - 10.5
10.5 & over |
