Residual Hardness Monitoring – Ensuring Reliable Operation of Medical Water Systems
Monitoring the residual hardness of water is a critical component in clinical water treatment, as it significantly affects the performance and lifespan of water-bearing systems and medical devices. Residual hardness, measured in degrees of German hardness (°dH), indicates the concentration of dissolved calcium and magnesium ions in the water. These ions are the main cause of lime scale build-up, which can lead to blockages, efficiency loss, and increased maintenance requirements in pipelines and devices.
Testomat
The Testomat from the Heyl product range offers reliable and automated monitoring of water hardness levels. It enables continuous measurement of residual hardness and provides early warnings when threshold values are exceeded – ideal for hospitals, laboratories, and other sensitive environments where low-hardness water is essential for smooth and safe operations.
