<60 PPM
SOFT WATER
Soft water contains relatively low levels of calcium and magnesium. While limescale is less of a concern, you may still want to consider water filtration depending on your water quality requirements.
60-120 PPM
HARD WATER
Hard water contains higher levels of dissolved minerals and can contribute to limescale formation. A Water softener or scale inhibitor can help protect appliances, heating systems and plumbing.
120> PPM
VERY HARD WATER
Very hard water has a high concentration of scale-forming minerals and is more likely to cause significant limescale buildup. A Water softener or scale inhibitor can help reduce the impact of hard water throughout the home.
Testing for water hardness
You can also measure water hardness using our CalTest Water Hardness Testing Kit (Product Code: WS-WHTK).
CalTest is an inexpensive way of getting an instant reading of your water hardness. Simply add drops of water to the special reagent formula until the colour changes from a red colour to a blue colour (soft water would be a blue colour), then multiply the drops added by 20 for your water hardness measurement. E.g. 8 drops x 20 = 160 ppm (parts per million).
