The Taylor Technologies K-1770 Test Kit was designed for commercial, institutional, laboratory and residential settings that need a reliable, titration-based measurement. Its EDTA titration method provides clear end-point readings and includes inhibitors to reduce errors caused by dissolved metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the K-1770 determine calcium hardness?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit uses an EDTA titration that binds calcium ions until the indicator reaches a defined end point. Each drop of titrant corresponds to 10 ppm calcium, making it easy to calculate total hardness from the number of drops used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEDTA titrant for direct calcium binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne drop equals 10 ppm for quick conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor-change end point for straightforward reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat prevents metal ions from skewing results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor includes specific inhibitors that mask or chelate interfering metal ions so they do not react with the indicator.
