BRITA Total Hardness Test Kit – Test Your Tap Water Effectively

Total hardness testing made easy: With the BRITA Total Hardness Test Kit you determine the total hardness (sum of calcium and magnesium ions) of your tap water. Ideal for setting up filters, protecting appliances and checking water quality.

Why a Total Hardness Test Is Important

Total hardness shows how “hard” your water is – meaning how many dissolved calcium and magnesium ions it contains. This influences scaling, taste and the lifespan of appliances like coffee machines.
