Hardness Monitors

Testomat Hardness Monitors are devices designed to measure the residual and total hardness in water. They utilize titration methods to provide accurate readings, ensuring water quality in various applications such as water softeners, blenders, and potable water systems.

These monitors are commonly used in industries requiring precise water hardness control, such as steam generators in boiler rooms, water treatment facilities, and drinking water systems.

Begin by selecting a suitable wall-mounted location near your water source. Secure the monitor to the wall using appropriate fittings. Connect the water inlet and outlet according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

Basic tools like a drill and screwdriver are typically required. Refer to the specific model's installation guide for any additional tools that may be needed.

These monitors automate the process of testing water hardness through titration. They measure the change in color of a reagent when it reacts with calcium and magnesium ions in the water, allowing for precise hardness determination.

Yes, most models feature a user-friendly, menu-driven interface that allows for straightforward programming and operation.

Regular maintenance includes checking reagent levels, cleaning components, and verifying calibration. It’s important to follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the user manual to ensure optimal performance. GAPS Water Treatment offer Servicing Contracts - Contact us for a quotation.

Reagent replacement frequency depends on usage levels. Check the manual for specific guidelines, but typically, reagents should be replaced every few months or when indicated by the monitor.

First, ensure that the device is properly calibrated. Check for any obstructions in the water flow and verify that the reagents are fresh and properly installed. If issues persist, consult the troubleshooting section of the user manual or contact customer support.

Check the power supply and ensure that all electrical connections are secure. Inspect the fuse and replace it if necessary. If the problem continues, professional servicing may be required. Contact us for a quotation.

Limitent and Limitron Hardness Monitors are advanced devices designed to monitor water hardness without using chemicals or water. The Limitent model comes with a controller, while the Limitron model is designed to integrate with other systems. They employ a resin shrinkage or expansion method to provide reliable hardness control.

Both Limitent and Limitron monitors are typically installed after water softening units to protect downstream systems such as reverse osmosis units from hard water breakthrough. They are essential in maintaining the integrity of industrial and residential water systems.

For the Limitron, install it in the feed of the reverse osmosis system. For the Limitent, install it in the soft water pipe following softening units. Ensure all connections are secure and follow the specific installation guide for detailed steps. If the Limitron is to be installed directly into a reverse osmosis system, an additional installation component may be required.

Install an overpressure protection in the feed water line upstream of the unit. Ensure that the spare sensor is flushed and soaked in soft water before installation.

Both monitors use a measuring principle based on resin shrinkage or expansion to detect water hardness. The Limitent provides a visual indication of hardness breakthrough, while the Limitron connects to a control system to alert for hardness changes.

Yes, the Limitent model offers visual indicators for easy monitoring, while the Limitron can seamlessly integrate with digital inputs for straightforward operations.

Maintenance is minimal since neither device uses chemicals. Regular checks on the resin sensor and connections are recommended, with easy replacement of the resin sensor if needed.

Store spare sensors in soft water/permeate and ensure the feed water pressure is maintained between 2 – 6 bar for both models.

Verify all electrical connections and ensure the sensor is installed properly. Check the potential-free contact connections and consult the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps if problems persist.
