| Test | Description |
|---|---|
Acidity |
Water’s quantitative ability to react with bases. Influences reaction rates & promotes corrosion; influences biological activity and chemical specification. Useful as a measurement for quality of water. |
Alkalinity |
Water’s capability of neutralizing acids. |
Conductivity |
The ability of an aqueous solution to conduct an electrical current based on the presence of ions. |
Hardness |
The sum of calcium and magnesium concentrations. |
pH |
One of the most important and frequently used measurements in water quality. Used in alkalinity measurements, pH is the measure of H+ ions present. Alkalinity and acidity are the acid-base equilibria. The intensity of the acid or base is indicated by the pH. |
TDS |
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water. Water with high TDS may induce unfavorable physiological reactions in consumers. Unsatisfactory bathing conditions result with high TDS. |
Turbidity |
Measure of water clarity. Caused by suspend matter (such as: clay, silt, and organic matter). |
