Hardness, or TH, gives the total concentration of calcium and magnesium salts on: 1°fH / 0.562°dH hardness corresponds to 10 mg/L (ppm) calcium carbonate.


The harder the water, the bigger the risk of calcium and magnesium salt deposits on the walls of pools and spas. On the other hand, water that is too soft can be corrosive.

°fH °dH

very soft:  0—7 0—4

soft:  7—15 4—8

slightly hard:  15—25 8—14

medium hard:  25—32 14—18

hard:  32—42 18—23

very hard:  >42 >23

 

The ideal TH for pool water is between 10 and 20°fH or 5 and 11°dH.
