Question

The saturation index for a pool measures the balance between the acid level and the amount of minerals in pool water. Balanced water has an index value of 0. Water is highly corrosive or highly scale forming if the absolute deviation of the index value from 0 is greater than 0.5. Find the index values for which pool water is highly corrosive or highly scale forming.

Answer 1

Answer: The water is highly corrosive when the saturation index < - 0.5 and

> 0.5

Explanation:

If the saturation index for a pool measures the balance between the acid level and the amount of minerals in pool water. Considering its balanced water has an index value of 0.

The water is highly corrosive when the saturation index < - 0.5 and

> 0.5
