My Water Hardness Stats

[MermaidMel]

Could someone experty please take a look at my stats and help me understand any implications

GH 16oD
KH 10oD
PH 7.6

All my stock is happy I just wondered what the stats mean

Thanks

Ok so nobody knows but what is DH and how can I get that reading if my strips only have KH and GH readings?

DH is degrees of hardness, multiply by 17.9 to get ppm.

This would give you a gH, or general hardness of 286ppm. The kH, or carbonate hardness would be 179 ppm. This is fairly hard water, but not extremely hard.

This would be pretty much in line with a pH of 7.6. From what I've heard over the years from water supplies around the world, generally the higher the pH the harder the water.
