Total Hardness test kit Model 5-B

This is a go to test kit if your looking for a easy and very accurate way to find your water Hardness.
It works much better than any test strips you can buy.
This kit will do around 100 tests and is very simple to use just follow the instructions and count the drops you add while watching to see when the water turns blue and then you know the total grains per gallon of hardness.

It just doesn't get any simpler.

Does not give accurate readings !

This unit is accurate with tap water, but gives a false reading of my pool water!
Tap water read 258 with this unit and read 269 on test by my chemical supplier .This unit read 107 on my pool water and read 321 on a test by my chemical supplier.

My chemical supplier had no logical reason for the mixed reading other than the unit is defective.

NO CHANGE IN 21 YEARS - STILL THE BEST KIT ON THE MARKET

I first used this same kit after attending a factory training session at the old Maytag Factory in Newton, Iowa. I've had my kit since 1997 and it no longer worked, or seemed to work. So, here on eBay I found this new kit - exactly like the Maytag one I had 21 years ago. I tried it on known water sources and it performed flawlessly. It works great, just like the old Maytag kit. I think Maytag just put their name on their kit because this one from HACH is EXACTLY the same - same chemicals, spoon, jar...if you lose the little measure tube, just remember it holds about 6 milliliters. I highly recommend this kit if you want to know the water hardness of your source water. I use it in forensic testing while conducting inspections of homes for floods by appliances.Read full review

Works as advertised

Good instructions. All parts needed to do a test are there and easy to use. You'll need to do a 'net search for info to **interpret** the results, e.g. what is hard versus soft water?

seems to works, lower is better in most instances.

Seems to work. It has a generous amount of product to perform multiple tests.
I don't know how accurate it is but is does indicate differences in water samples. Example, well water vs bottled spring water.Read full review

Best Water Hardness tester to setup correct softener levels

this product makes it easy to test water hardness and set the correct levels on the softener. It measures in grains per gallon instead of PPM (Particles Per Million).

Hach test kit model 5 - B

This is definitely the best test kit for the dollar! Don't waste your money on those little match the color strip test kits from the hardware store or the local Big Box store. I've done water sampling for many years and find this to be the best!Read full review

Product as advertised & at a good price.

I bought this test kit to verify a test strip hardness measurement. The test strip came in at 11 GPG (plus or minus). The test kit gave me a 12 GPG measurement. This test kit gave me the confidence that I was hoping for. Much more scientific than a test strip.Read full review

No Guesswork

Test strips are fine but only give you an approximation of your water Hardness. If you have a water softener, you can't guess. You need this test kit so that you can properly program your softener for regeneration cycles. This kit does it with ease.Read full review
