2. Hard water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water

   The total water hardness is the sum of the molar concentrations of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+, in mol/L or mmol/L units. Although water hardness usually measures only the total concentrations of calcium and magnesium (the two most prevalent divalent metal ions), iron, aluminium, and manganese are also present at

3. Carbonate hardness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate_hardness

   Carbonate hardness, is a measure of the water hardness caused by the presence of carbonate (CO 2− 3) and bicarbonate (HCO − 3) anions. Carbonate hardness is usually expressed either in degrees KH (from the German "Karbonathärte"), or in parts per million calcium carbonate ( ppm CaCO 3 or grams CaCO 3 per litre|mg/L).

4. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

   14] Water can be classified by the level of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water: Fresh water: TDS is less than 1,000 ppm. Brackish water: TDS = 1,000 to 10,000 ppm. Saline water: TDS = 10,000 to 35,000 ppm. Hypersaline: TDS greater than 35,000 ppm. Drinking water generally has a TDS below 500 ppm.

5. dGH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DGH

   In water testing hardness is often measured in parts per million (ppm), where one part per million is defined as one milligram of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) per litre of water. Consequently, 1 dGH corresponds to 10 ppm CaO but 17.848 ppm CaCO 3 which has a molar mass of 100.09 g/mol.

6. Grain per gallon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_per_gallon

   The grain per gallon (gpg) is a unit of water hardness defined as 1 grain (64.8 milligrams) of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1 US gallon of water (3.785412 L). It translates into 1 part in about 58,000 parts of water or 17.1 parts per million (ppm). Also called Clark degree (in terms of an imperial gallon).

7. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_suspended_solids

   Total dissolved solids is another parameter acquired through a separate analysis which is also used to determine water quality based on the total substances that are fully dissolved within the water, rather than undissolved suspended particles. TSS is also referred to using the terms total suspended matter (TSM) and suspended particulate matter ...

8. Alkalinity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkalinity

   Alkalinity is frequently given as molar equivalents per liter of solution or per kilogram of solvent. In commercial (e.g. the swimming pool industry) and regulatory contexts, alkalinity might also be given in parts per million of equivalent calcium carbonate (ppm CaCO 3) [citation needed].

9. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

   Chemical water analysis is carried out on water used in industrial processes, on waste-water stream, on rivers and stream, on rainfall and on the sea. [1] In all cases the results of the analysis provides information that can be used to make decisions or to provide re-assurance that conditions are as expected.
