will turn red if hardness
is present. If solution
is blue, there is no
measurable amount of
hardness.
While gently swirling the tube, add Hardness
Reagent #7 (4487WT) one drop at a time until the
red color changes to blue. Count the number of
drops added. Hold bottle vertically.
Multiply the number of drops used in Step 6 as follows:
Swirl to mix.
Upper line: each drop equals 10 ppm Hardness as CaCO
Middle line: each drop equals 1 gpg Hardness as CaCO
Lower line: each drop equals 20 ppm Hardness as CaCO
