FLOW: The Personification
• Makes friends easily
• Never alone, never wanders away
• Always pulling others in
• But always a distinct individual

FLOW: Langelier Saturation Index
LSI = pH - pHs
Where:
• pH is the measured water pH
• pHs is the pH at saturation in calcite or calcium carbonate and is defined as:
pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)
Where:
• A = (Log10 [TDS] - 1) / 10
• B = -13.12 x Log10 (oC + 273) + 34.55
• C = Log10 [Ca2+ as CaCO3] - 0.4
• D = Log10 [alkalinity as CaCO3] Source: wqa.org
