Built around a patented reagent delivery system from Industrial Test Systems, it releases a precise amount of reagent into the water sample when the strip is dipped into a photometer cell. The resulting color change or turbidity is measured by the eXact device, offering fast, repeatable results that support informed water management decisions. This kit arrives as a bulk bottle containing 50 individual tests, designed for both technical setups and everyday testing at home or in small facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulk bottle with 50 calcium hardness tests for water testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReagent compatible with multiple eXact models, enabling flexible use across devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReference for the visual method is Pool Check 3 in 1, part number 481335\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility and ranges\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to work with the eXact photometer ecosystem, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eeXact iDip: 30–720 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eeXact Micro 20 W with Bluetooth SMART: 20–400 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eeXact Micro 10: 20–300 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eeXact Pool EZ: 21–720 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eeXact Spa EZ: 19–550 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDip the strip into a photometer cell to release the exact reagent amount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace the cell in the eXact device and initiate the reading as directed by your model’s user guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterpret the color or turbidity change on the photometer’s display to estimate calcium hardness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium hardness is a common parameter in water maintenance. While no single test guarantees a perfect outcome, precise, reproducible readings can help you monitor water quality and adjust balance levels with greater confidence. The Exact Micro Calcium Hardness Strip is designed to deliver consistent results across diverse environments, from residential pools and spas to small commercial facilities. The USA-made kit benefits from a standardized reagent system and a bulk format that can fit into regular testing routines without frequent reordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-use strips paired with an eXact photometer for rapid results\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulk bottle of 50 tests reduces the need for frequent replacements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with a range of eXact models for flexible testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear guidance and a reference visual method for quick cross-checks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Which devices are compatible with the Exact 486629 Micro Calcium Hardness Strip?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Designed for use with eXact Photometers, including iDip, Micro series, Pool EZ, and Spa EZ models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many tests are included and what models are supported?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Includes a bulk bottle of 50 tests; supports multiple eXact models such as iDip, Micro, Pool EZ, and Spa EZ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Exact","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43989206859910,"sku":"B008AMJR2C","price":19.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/1602\/5478\/files\/exact-486629-micro-calcium-hardness-strip-photometer.jpg?v=1778859991","url":"https:\/\/patiozora.com\/products\/exact-486629-micro-calcium-hardness-strip-for-photometers-precise-water-hardness-testing","provider":"PatioZora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
