Total Hardness definition
The total hardness (T.H.) of water is the sum of the carbonate hardness (C.H.) and the non-carbonate hardness (N.C.H.)
T.H. = C.H. + N.C.H.
What is PPM?
PPM = parts per million
1 ppm = 1 mg per liter = mg/Liter
Atomic weight of elements rule
If even (2,4) double the number. If odd (5,9) double the number plus 1.
Exceptions to atomic weight of elements rule
1,4,7,17,18
for 4 & 7, swap the rules.
for 17, add 0.5
for 18, add 4
