Total Hardness
METHOD: Calcium and magnesium react in a strongly buffered medium
with an indicator to develop a pale purple color in
proportion to the concentration.
SAMPLE
HANDLING &
PRESERVATION: Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after
collection. If storage is necessary, add 0.5 mL of 20 %
hydrochloric acid per 100 mL of sample. However, the added
acid will have to be neutralized with NaOH before testing.
INTERFERENCES: Heavy metals will interfere.
