If one of these eight characteristics was far out of the ideal range, which would be the worst? Be sure to examine the effects of each characteristic to determine which one you think would be the worst and explain why you chose that one characteristic.

Answer 1

Total alkalinity should be the odd one,because the ideal range of alkalinity should be between 100-175 ppm.

problems of high alkalinity-1)pH not properly adjusted 2)cloudy water 3)high pH levels

problems of low alkalinity-1)Fluctuation of pH 2)corrosion 3)irritated eyes 4)green water
