  • Calcium

    A metallic dyad element of a lustrous yellow color, symbol Ca, atomic number 20, atomic weight 40.09, melting point 810°, often found in water usually as dissolved calcium carbonate, chalk (CaCO3). Soluble in water, it causes hardness and subsequent scaling.

  • Calcium Carbonate Equivalent

    The value obtained when salts are calculated in terms of equivalent quantities of calcium carbonate. This is a convenient method of reducing all salts to a common basis for comparison.ppm CaCO3 = ppm ion X -Equivalent weight of CaCO3/Equivalent weight of ion Where ion = magnesium, calcium, or other elements that contribute to hardness.
