In What Unit Do You Measure Alkalinity?

Dkh here. I'd also love to see the ability to input past data from other records. Also, something I've notice on a few of thes apps is they'll only allow input within a certain "acceptable" range. I don't like that. Sometimes things get out of whack and I'd like to be able to record it. Since you're asking

I completely agree. I won't be adding acceptable ranges for anything. What you want to enter will be what you're allowed to enter. Also, you'll have the ability to select your preferred unit of measurement for every parameter that has more than one, such as for alkalinity. Also, you will be able to enter records from any date/time. It will allow you to select a date and time if you would like.

I really appreciate the feedback and suggestions from everyone!

I use a dKH Hanna checker and Red Sea alk pro, I stick with dKH cause that's what BRS refers to the most and studied those videos for my impromptu salty U.

I use ppm because that is what my Hannah spits out.[/QUOTE
For the Hannah you can multiply the number by .056 to get dKh

I am building an application for tracking water parameters, and I am curious as to in what parameter you use most to measure alkalinity. I usually see measurements in dKH, but there is also meq/L and ppm CaCO3.

I am trying to figure out how popular these units of measurement are so that I know whether I need to implement the conversions.

Thanks for your time and help!

I like using ppm, as it has a broader scale.
