Please change conductivity limit NMT 1.3 micro simons/cm (1.3μS/cm). Because 1.3 mS/cm means milli simons/cm.
ReplyDeletefor the heavy metals parameter which is <0.1ppm, is it the total of all heavy metals or individual ions like Mg+, Fe+?
ReplyDeleteAll heavy metals including pb and cd etc.
Deletewhy NIirates is less then 0.2ppm ?
ReplyDeleteWhy conductivity important in wfi water
