Testing the carbon hardness
To be able to make the right settings on the filter, you should test the carbon hardness (KH) of the tap water before starting the installation of GROHE Blue Home. To do this, simply hold the enclosed test stripe in the tap water which then changes colour. You can now compare the colour of the stripe with the enclosed colour scale and thus determine the water hardness.
