Description

Taylor K-1770 Calcium Hardness Test Kit

Test your pool water with confidence using the professional-grade Taylor K-1770 Calcium Hardness Test Kit. Designed for accuracy and ease of use, this kit allows you to precisely measure calcium hardness levels — essential for protecting your pool surface and equipment.

Unlike test strips, this drop-count titration method delivers reliable, repeatable results, making it the preferred choice for pool technicians and serious pool owners.

👉 “More accurate than test strips – trusted by pool professionals”

💧 Why Calcium Hardness Matters

Calcium hardness plays a critical role in overall water balance:

• Low calcium → can cause corrosion and surface damage
• High calcium → leads to scaling and cloudy water

Keeping levels in range helps extend the life of your pool and equipment.

✅ Key Features

• Genuine Taylor Technologies test kit
• Accurate drop-count titration method
• More precise than test strips
• Ideal for pools and spas
• Trusted by pool professionals

📦 What’s Included in the Kit

The Taylor K-1770 Calcium Hardness Test Kit includes everything needed for accurate calcium hardness testing:

• 1 × 9198 Sample Tube (25mL, graduated, with cap)
• 1 × R-0010 Calcium Buffer
• 1 × R-0011L Calcium Indicator Liquid
• 1 × R-0012 Hardness Reagent

Testing precision: 1 drop = 1 ppm calcium hardness

📊 Ideal Calcium Hardness Levels

For most pools: 200–400 ppm
(Varies depending on surface type and equipment)

How is this different from test strips?
Test strips give quick estimates, but the Taylor K-1770 provides precise, professional-level readings using a titration method.

How often should I test calcium hardness?
We recommend testing monthly, or more frequently if you notice scaling or surface issues.

Can high calcium damage my pool?
Yes — high calcium can cause scale buildup on tiles, equipment, and heaters, reducing efficiency and lifespan.

What raises calcium hardness in a pool?
Calcium hardness is increased using calcium-based products such as calcium chloride.

Is this suitable for saltwater pools?
Yes — maintaining proper calcium hardness is important in both chlorine and saltwater pools.
