Hi all,
The <"titrimetric kits"> (ones where you drip the reagent into water sample and look for a colour change) are likely to be more accurate than the test sticks, but test sticks will give you a "Ball park" figure.
In Europe (and the UK) you can get water hardness figures from your water supplier, not sure about in the USA.
Have a look at <"advice please"> as well.

Most tests for hardness (both dGH and dKH) actually test for alkalinity and then make the assumption that most of that hardness comes from limestone (CaCO3). It is usually a fair assumption.
