DukiLoco Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Can anyone tell me what my hardness is? To me, the color of hardness on my test strip just doesn't match any of the colors on the result. All of the other tests color match perfectly except hardness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For lack of a better answer, The water hardness is beyond the range of your test strip. I have been charting my water parameters for most of a year and refer to this reading as 301. I have used the towel method, held the strip horizontally in my hand, and on it's side. The results have always been the same. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must just have really hard water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have often wondered how hard my/our water really is, but my fish are happy, so I will keep that $10. in my pocket for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
