What it does for your water
The Culligan 1035250 Hardness Test Kit is a drop test kit.
Drop-count kits give hardness as a number: add reagent a drop at a time until the color changes, and each drop is a set number of grains per gallon or ppm.
Softeners are sized in grains per gallon; divide a mg/L or ppm reading by 17.1. The hardness converter does it for you.
From the listing: model 1035250; material Plastic.
The listing gives a shipping weight of 0.27 g and complete home water test: bacteria, lead, tds meter, ph, chlorine in the box.
