KH Convertion

[salty rick]

How do you change mg/l to the single diget KH numbers that I see referenced on this site. My test kit measure in mg/l.

Mutiply your reading by 2.8

The reading that I have been seeing on this site for KH has been in meq/l. I don't think multiplying mg/l by 209 will give me meq/l since the optimal reading, according to the instructions of my test kit, is between 100 and 115 mg/l. There was something on the instructions about converting to dK by multiplying mg/l by 0.059. Would that be the right convertion factor?

My bad, I missed that, I assumed we were talking meq/L, Im not really sure how to convert from that unit.
