## Description

Hach 145400 Total Hardness Test Kit, Model 5-EP

Review: After reading several reviews I decided on this product. It works exactly as described. We have a well with very very hard water and had purchased a really expensive water system because of that. We were still having large amounts of scale and figured the system wasn't working properly. The technicians would come out to "fix" the system and say we had one or two grains of hardness after theywere done but we were seeing no improvement. We were trying to purchase a tankless water heater and they would not even install it because when they tested our water it showed more than 25 grains of hardness. We puchased this kit and it said we had over 30 grains which is considered off the chart. We also tested the water from our water dispenser with the test kit (which someone recommended) which of course was zero. To make a long story short...this kit works perfectly especially if you just need to see if your system is working as it should be from time to time. It was simple to use and takes only a couple of minutes for results. Come to find out, our water system had a malfunctioning part (wink wink).
Review: Good quality and delivery date. Thanks :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What the is difference between this kit and the Hach HA-71a (145201)?**
A: This kit will only read in gpg or grains per gallon. Test Kit HA-71A will read in mg/L or gpg. 1 gpg is approx. 17 mg/L, so HA-71A allows for much lower concentration readings. The other difference is the test range. This kit reads 0-30 gpg. Kit HA-71A can read 0-20 mg/L and 0-20 gpg.

**Q: Does this test work for salt free systems?**
A: This kit should work in most salt free systems.

**Q: Does the kit come with box?**
A: Hello PHI T. This kit does come with the box that is pictured. Please let us know if you need anything else.

**Q: Do they have expiration date?**
A: The tritant solution in our kit has an October 2020 expiration date and the bag containing the little packages of ammonium chloride has a Sept. 2020 expiration date. We've had our kit for about a month.

I have and use the multi-purpose test strips for checking my drinking water, but this is the correct and accurate way to measure hardness of tap water. This is a very high quality, lab-grade kit made by a German company. The instructions are easy to follow and enough reagents are supplied for 100+ tests. It is easy to accurately measure to within 1 grain per gallon, up to 30. "Hard" water is anything over 10 grains/gallon, so for the purposes of evaluating the need for and efficacy of a water softener, this is perfect.
