(4484).
Swirl to mix.
While gently swirling the tube, add
Hardness Reagent #7 (4487WT)
one drop at a time until the red
color changes to blue. Hold bottle
vertically. Count the number of
drops added.
Multiply the number of drops used in Step 6 as follows:
upper line:
multiply by 10 = ppm Hardness as CaCO
3
middle line: multiply by 1 = gpg Hardness as CaCO
3
lower line: multiply by 20 = ppm Hardness as CaCO
3
Fill the test tube (4488) to the desired line with the
sample water.
upper line:
1 drop = 10 ppm CaCO
3
middle line: 1 drop = 1 gpg CaCO
3
lower line: 1 drop = 20 ppm CaCO .
