How to use

To perform a test, remove one strip from the packaging and immerse the reactive end into the water sample for a few seconds. Remove the strip and shake off any excess water. Wait for the specified time indicated on the packaging for the color change to stabilize. Compare the resulting color on the strip against the provided reference chart to determine the hardness level of the water.
