water chemistry
Pool maintenance science
Water chemistry is the study of the chemical composition and properties of water—what substances are dissolved or suspended in it and how they interact.
The term appears most often in contexts where water quality matters: aquariums, swimming pools, brewing, and environmental science.
You need to test your water chemistry before adding fish.
Parameters like pH, hardness, chlorine levels, and dissolved oxygen all fall under water chemistry.
- hardnessResistance to penetration
- salinityDissolved mineral concentration
- alkalinityAcid-neutralizing capacity
- titrationMeasuring concentration by addition
- chlorine levelsDisinfectant concentration in water
