Calculate Water Hardness in All Major Units
Enter your water sample's calcium and magnesium concentrations or total hardness to determine water hardness in mg/L (ppm), mmol/L, °dH, °fH, and °e. Useful for water quality, chemistry, aquariums, and more.
See how to use the Water Hardness Calculator with real-world scenarios.
Calculate water hardness for tap water with 40 mg/L Ca²⁺ and 12 mg/L Mg²⁺, result in mg/L.
Calculation Method: Calcium & Magnesium
Calcium (mg/L): 40 mg/L
Magnesium (mg/L): 12 mg/L
Result Unit: mg/L
Calculate water hardness for aquarium water: 25 mg/L Ca²⁺, 8 mg/L Mg²⁺, result in mmol/L.
Calculation Method: Calcium & Magnesium
Calcium (mg/L): 25 mg/L
Magnesium (mg/L): 8 mg/L
Result Unit: mmol/L
