The dropper titration method changes the color of the sample from red to blue at the equivalence point. The number of drops needed for the color to change represents the hardness concentration.
Total Hardness (TH) of water is expressed in French degrees (°f), where 1°F corresponds to 10 mg of CaCO₃/L

Watch the color change from pink to colorless with the TA indicator (CMR-free) or TA phenolphthalein (CMR). For the TAC helianthine the color change is from yellow to orange and from blue-green to pale pink with the TAC reagent.

Measuring hardness is essential in assessing water quality. Hard water can lead to unwanted mineral deposits, affect the taste of drinks, and cause problems with household appliances. Soft water, on the other hand, can be corrosive and requires a delicate balance to prevent damage to your equipment.
Total hardness is the sum of carbonate and non-carbonate hardness. Carbonate hardness, due to calcium and magnesium bicarbonate, is sometimes called temporary hardness, and can be removed by boiling. Noncarbonate hardness, due to calcium and magnesium nitrates, chlorides, and sulfates, is also known as permanent hardness.
Hardness monitoring is vital in many fields, including the food industry, cooling systems, boilers, and power generation. Water of a specific quality, with controlled hardness concentrations, is essential to ensure optimal efficiency of machinery and to extend its useful life. Specific applications include preventing scaling in water heaters, managing boiler water to prevent corrosion, and optimizing the performance of softening systems to eliminate the adverse effects of hardness on industrial processes.
Hardness measures the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, while alkalinity measures the ability of a solution to neutralize acids. Although related, hardness focuses on calcium and magnesium, while alkalinity includes the contribution of carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide ions.
