Total Hardness Calculator

How do you determine the total hardness of your water? Enter the hardness (ppm) of each applicable substance in the form below. Hardness will be shown as equivalents in Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).

The most common substances are listed at the top of the form. To include additional substances in the calculation, scroll down below the Total Hardness result.

Also, see the industrial water technical articles and resources, and the industrial water softeners information.
