Alkalinity test...

[rickm]

My Lamotte Alkalinity test kit measures in ppm. My current reading is about 150 ppm. Is there a way to convert this to dkh? At 150 ppm I have nothing to compare this to.

To convert to meq/L you can multiply by .02,I'm not exactly sure how acurate the conversion is,thats just what i came up with.That would put you at 3meq/L which is around 8dKh i think.Here's the link to a calc that should help you.

This site has a conversion chart as well

Looks like something else to find the exact formula for and add to my list of mathmatical calculations to be added.
