Portable Water Hardness Meter - Handheld Hardness Tester - 0.05-200 mmol/L, 500 Data Sets

The Master Science Portable Water Hardness Meter brings laboratory-style hardness measurement to the sampling point. It reads water hardness and temperature together, covering 0.05 to 200 mmol/L, and reports in mmol/L, mg/L, German degrees (°dH), English degrees (°e) or French degrees (°f).

Running on three AA batteries or a DC 5 V adapter, the Master Science Portable Water Hardness Meter is calibrated on 2 to 5 points and keeps up to 500 data sets in memory. The USB port serves both for data transfer and for connecting the power adapter.

Applications

The Master Science Portable Water Hardness Meter suits on-site hardness checks such as:

• Drinking water and well water surveys
• Boiler and cooling water rounds
• Water treatment plant monitoring
• Environmental field sampling

Common Problems This Meter Solves

Field hardness testing tends to run into the same obstacles.

• Samples change on the way to the lab:: measure on the spot with a 300 g handheld.
• Batteries drain between sites:: auto power-off after 10, 20 or 30 minutes.
• Readings lost on paper notes:: 500 data sets stay in memory until downloaded.
• Different units requested by different clients:: switch between five hardness units.
