Parameter Definitions

All parameters are defined within the context of the sampled test values produced from PQ-200w Water Quality Tester and may not be entirely inclusive of parameter’s scientific origin or all-inclusive definition.

Parameter Name Definition
Free Chlorine The amount of unused chlorine available to disinfect contaminants.
Total Chlorine The sum of Free and Combined Chlorine.
Monochloramine A disinfection compound that is created by adding ammonia and chlorine.
pH A spectrum/scale that depicts the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
Conductivity A measure of an aqueous solutions ability to conduct electricity.
ORP Formally known as “Oxidation-Reduction Potential”, it is a measure of the ability of an aqueous solution to break down waste product.
TDS Formally known as “Total Dissolved Solids”, it is the amount of organic and/or inorganic material that is dissolved into a volume of water. This is calculated and derived from Conductivity.
Sensor Temperature The temperature of the volume of liquid under test.
Free Ammonia Ammonia that has not bonded with chlorine during chlorination disinfection.
Total Ammonia The sum of all ammonia nitrogen present in the form of monochloramine (NH 2Cl), other chloramines, ammonium ion (NH 4 +), and molecular ammonia (NH 3).
Ammonium When dissolved in water, ammonia (NH3) reacts to form ammonium (NH4+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions.
Chlorine-Ammonia Ratio Weight ratio of chlorine to ammonia used to form monochloramine.
Nitrification Capacity The maximum concentration of Nitrates that can be formed if the sample were left to stagnate.
Dissolved CO2 Measurement of aqueous carbon dioxide.
Total Alkalinity A measure of the sum of all measures of alkalinity.
Ionic Calcium Calcium that is free, unattached to other compounds.
Calcium Hardness A measure of the amount of calcium ions that are present.
Total Hardness A measure of the sum of Calcium and Magnesium.
Bicarbonate Alkalinity A measure of the amount of bicarbonate ions that are present.
Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) A measure of the sum of inorganic species within an aqueous solution.
Langelier Saturation Index A measure to determine the corrosiveness or scale-forming potential of an aqueous solution.
Ryznar Stability Index A measure to determine the corrosiveness or scale-forming potential of an aqueous solution.
Aggressive Index Corrosive tendency of water.
