Water hardness is caused by dissolved salts. Hardness is formed in natural waters primarily from magnesium and calcium hydrogen carbonate and sulfate dissolved from the soil and/or aquifers. The more salts are dissolved in the water, the higher the water hardness. Due to regionally very different composition of the geological underground, different water hardnesses and compositions are possible.
For this reason, water hardness is divided into the following ranges:
- < 4 degrees of German hardness (°dh) = very soft water.
- 4 - 7 degrees of German hardness (°dh) = soft water
- 7 - 14 degrees of German hardness (°dh) = medium hard water
- 14 - 21 degrees of German hardness (°dh) = hard water
- > 21 degrees of German hardness (°dh) = very hard water
The majority of water hardness is produced as carbonate hardness by dissolving lime (CaCO3) or dolomite (Ca-Mg mixed carbonate). Other input paths include dissolution by acidic components of precipitation or by nitric acid from nitrification as a result of agricultural fertilization.

Durognost Special Buffer Solution is a solution designed to buffer highly alkaline water samples, ensuring that analyses can be carried out reliably. For accurate analyses at high pH levels The Durognost Special Buffer Solution is a buffer solution for alkaline water samples. It is used to buffer strongly alkaline water samples (above pH 10) for the determination of total and residual hardness using Durognost and Duroval test kits. The contents of the bottle are sufficient for approx. 200 analyses. The Durognost Special Buffer Solution stabilises highly alkaline water samples and brings the pH value into a range that allows for accurate measurement. What is the buffer solution suitable for? The solution is not suitable for calibrating pH meters or as a general pH standard solution, but is used exclusively for buffering highly alkaline water samples. What is the buffer solution used for? Our buffer solution is used to adjust highly alkaline water samples (often with a pH value above 10) to a defined, lower pH value prior to titration or analysis, and to maintain this value. This is important for accurate measurement results, particularly when determining total and residual hardness, for example using DUROVAL® and DUROGNOST® test kits. Applications of the buffer solution The buffer solution is used wherever highly alkaline conditions would interfere with standard testing procedures. It facilitates accurate measurements by lowering the pH to a measurable range.
