1. 

Water to be tested should be taken from a tap after the water softener

 

2. 

Measure 10ml of water into plastic bottle supplied (approximately 1/3 full)

 

3. 

Add  one  Yes/No  tablet  to  sample  water,  replace  cap  and  shake  until  tablet
has completely dissolved.

 

 (NOTE: do not handle Yes/No tablet with fingers)

 

4. 

The  final  colour  to  be  obtained  for  soft  water  is  green.  (Note:  The  shade  of
green may vary.) If the colour turns red, the water is above 20 mg/l hardness,
therefore another regeneration is recommended.

 

5. 

Rinse plastic bottle after each test has been completed.

 

6. 

When  used  as  above,  the  tablets  change  the  colour  from  green  to  red  at  a
hardness of approximately 20ppm based on a sample volume of 10mls.

          

Other hardness test kits are available for more accurate testing eg.

Hardness Tablets

Directions:

Take  a  50ml  sample  of  water  in  a  screw  capped  bottle.  Add  one  (1)
tablet to sample, shake or crush to disintegrate. Repeat until last trace
of  reddish  tinge  disappears.  The  final  colour  is  usually  blue  but  with
some water a greyish coloured end point is obtained.

Using 50ml sample -
Hardness ppm = (number of tablets x 40) - 20

LR (BW) Tablets

Directions:

Take  a  100ml  sample  of  water  in  a  screw  capped  bottle.  Add  one  (1)
tablet to sample, shake or crush to disintegrate. Repeat until last trace
of  reddish  tinge  disappears.  The  final  colour  is  usually  blue  but  with
some water a greyish coloured end point is obtained.

Using 100ml sample -
Hardness ppm = (number tablets x 2) – 1
