Updated Sep 18

pH Level (Acidity/Alkalinity)8.3

Measures water acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0-14. Neutral is 7. Most fish thrive in 6.5-8.5 range.

Nh3 (mg/L) (Water Quality Parameter)0.0

Nh3 (mg/L) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Turbidity (Water Clarity)8.7 NTU

Measures water cloudiness caused by suspended particles. Lower values indicate clearer water. <25 NTU is good.

Electrical Conductivity489.8 µS/cm

Measures dissolved ions and minerals in water. Indicates salinity and pollution levels. Freshwater: 100-500 µS/cm.

Ortho P (mg/L) (Water Quality Parameter)0.0

Ortho P (mg/L) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Turbidity (Water Clarity)8.7 NTU

Measures water cloudiness caused by suspended particles. Lower values indicate clearer water. <25 NTU is good.

Conductivity (µS/cm) (Water Quality Parameter)489.8

Conductivity (µS/cm) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Specific Conductance (Electrical Conductivity)489.8 µS/cm

Measures dissolved ions and minerals in water. Indicates salinity and pollution levels. Freshwater: 100-500 µS/cm.
