 | Question about the profiles... |
Veteric  Big Fish Posts: 376 Kudos: 549 Votes: 7 Registered: 19-Apr-2004   | I know that testing for GH gives a result that encompasses KH, and that the non carbonate hardness is found through subtracting the KH from GH, but I'm stumped on the profiles. When this site, and most others, give a gh/dh, is this the measurement minus KH (which I'm suspecting) or is there some reason that KH is included? For example, the water here is kh 8/gh 12, so would the profiles consider GH for 4 or 12? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. |
