Water may deposit calcium carbonate scale or dissolve it, depending on its quality. A balanced water will neither deposit or dissolve calcium carbonate.
Enter the values of pH, temperature, calcium hardness and alkalinity for the water you want to assess. You will need to select the appropriate units for calcium hardness and alkalinity. Then press "Assess". Repeat as required. To see a listing of your assessments press "Summary".

pH: Temperature °C: 

Calcium hardness: Select hardness units: 

Alkalinity: Select alkalinity units:
