Just as advertised. Works well and has a nice storage kit to save for future use. Review: Works exactly as described - 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). ## Features - Provides accurate water hardness testing using drop count titration method - Compact design ensures ease of use for field or on-site analysis - Fully equipped with reagents, measuring tools, and clear instructions - Organized in a sturdy carry case for portability and equipment protection - Simplifies water quality evaluations with a straightforward process ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N3YPOUG | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,142 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #3 in Hardness Testing Equipment | | Brand Name | HACH | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (198) | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Hach | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HACH - **Item Weight:** 1.1 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Hach ## Images ![Hach Total Hardness Test Kit, Model 5-EP, Hardness Testing, Water Quality Test Kit, Accurate Hardness Measurement, Easy-to-Use Hardness Test Kit, 145400 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HBUN-NhCL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit- would buy again- excellent *by A***Y on March 5, 2026* Excellent test kit. Just as advertised.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hach Total Hardness Test Kit, Model 5-EP, Hardness Testing, Water Quality Test Kit, Accurate Hardness Measurement, Easy-to-Use Hardness Test Kit, 145400 - Hach Total Hardness Test Kit, Model 5-B, Water Analysis Kit for Drop Count Titration, with 2 Reagents, Measuring Tube, Square Bottle & Measuring Scoop, 145300 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/17296318-hach-total-hardness-test-kit-model-5-ep-hardness-testing](https://www.desertcart.be/products/17296318-hach-total-hardness-test-kit-model-5-ep-hardness-testing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
