TESTING
FOR
HARDNESS
AND
IRON
LEVELS
The hardness and iron levels can significantly impact the operation of ED2000. It’s extremely important
to understand the hardness and mineral level of the water before installing a water conditioning system.
Minerals and hardness of the water impacts the time required to change the characteristics of the lime
scale. The best way to find out the mineral level and hardness in your water is to connect with your local
health authority or to take help from a water testing service.

ONCENTRATION
High Iron level (insoluble and soluble) in water can deteriorate and can degrade the operation of
ED2000’s electrical field, decreasing its efficiency on reducing scale. Under such circumstances it’s
recommended to use an iron removal system to remove out the iron prior to using ED2000. If iron levels
are above 0.3 ppm (parts per million) an iron removal system should always be used.

Definition of hardness:
(Taken from the 1992 edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater)
“Originally, water hardness was understood to be a measure of the capacity of water to precipitate
soap. Soap is precipitated chiefly by the calcium and magnesium ions present. Other polyvalent cations
also may precipitate soap, but they often are in complex forms, frequently with organic constituents,
and their role in water hardness may be minimal and difficult to define. In conformity with current
practice, total hardness is defined as the sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, both
expressed as calcium carbonate, in milligrams per liter.”
Currently the water hardness is determined by the concentration of magnesium and calcium the water.
A traditional water softener eliminates the magnesium and calcium from the water using a process
known as “Ion Exchange”. Water treated with the traditional softeners will demonstrate a change in
