Trying to get a better grasp on KH to GH I'm reading and see this:
0 - 4 dH, 0 - 70 ppm : very soft
4 - 8 dH, 70 - 140 ppm : soft
8 - 12 dH, 140 - 210 ppm : medium hard
12 - 18 dH, 210 - 320 ppm : fairly hard
18 - 30 dH, 320 - 530 ppm : hard
higher : liquid rock (Lake Malawi and Los Angeles, CA)
IS the dH (degrees hardness) the same as GH?
I am trying to interpret my readings on a conductivity meter that doesn't output ppm... it outputs micro seimens so I'm using this conversion: 1GH = 17.9 ppm = 33 micro siemens
Well, how does dH play into all this?
Thanks
