How do I determine hardness due only to calcium (ca)?

Hardness Testing

To determine hardness due only to calcium, a different buffer and indicator must be used as compared to total hardness. The pH of the sample tested for only calcium hardness must be higher than the pH when testing total hardness. Our most common calcium buffer is CA1119 while the most common calcium indicator is CA1100.
