Monitoring hardness can help optimise processes, protect equipment, and support compliance. The Hach EZ Series Hardness Analysers provide a range of online analysers that use colorimetric or titrimetric methods to deliver online hardness results.
Colorimetric methods are suited for routine online monitoring of drinking water and surface water applications. Titrimetric methods are suited for demanding applications requiring measurement across broader concentration ranges or more complex matrices, such as wastewater and power generation.
Across these applications, the Hach EZ Series helps you select the right method for your monitoring needs. With options for total hardness, calcium hardness, and alkalinity, the EZ Series delivers reliable online results tailored to your water quality requirements.
Which Analyser Should I Choose?
• For Straightforward Colorimetric Monitoring Choose the EZ1016sc Total Hardness Colorimetric Analyser (0.025 - 1,000 mg/L CaCO₃) and the EZ1017sc Calcium Hardness Colorimetric Analyser (0.005 - 1,000 mg/L CaCO₃) for standard drinking water, ultrapure water, and surface water applications. They use colorimetric analysis to deliver consistent results, providing real-time data to help you make faster decisions and protect your infrastructure without requiring complex maintenance.
• For Precise Single-Parameter Titration Choose the EZ4000 Series Online Volumetric Hardness Analyser (total hardness: 0.025 - 1,000 mg/L CaCO₃; calcium hardness: 0.005 - 1,000 mg/L CaCO₃) for wastewater, ultrapure water, and industrial power applications that require dedicated measurement of a single parameter over a wide range. Using a robust Calmagite and EDTA method, this series delivers online automatic titration of total hardness or calcium hardness in water, ensuring your critical operations remain stable and compliant.
• For Comprehensive Multi-Parameter Management Choose the EZ5000 Series (total hardness: 0.025 - 1,000 mg/L CaCO₃; calcium hardness: 0.005 - 1,000 mg/L CaCO₃; alkalinity: 100 - 5,000 mg/L CaCO₃) for complex power generation, cooling water, and advanced wastewater treatment facilities. These multi-parameter analysers perform online automatic titration of hardness and alkalinity in water, making them ideal when you need to track several critical parameters at once. By combining a hardness and an alkalinity measurement into one powerful system using online titration, this series helps you maximize operational efficiency and control costs effectively.
