Course Description
Welcome to this course. This course titled Water Chemistry Basics is considered the base course of all other water-related courses available because it explains the main concepts related to water chemistry.
Understanding these main water quality parameters helps you evaluate water quality and also evaluate your water system performance.
In this course, we will discuss the following important topics:
Water Chemical and Physical Properties
Water pH and how to measure it
Electrical Conductivity (EC) and how to measure it
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and how to measure it
Water Alkalinity and its Types (P Alkalinity and M Alkalinity)
Water Hardness and its Types (Calcium hardness versus Magnesium Hardness)
Salts Solubility in Water
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and how to measure it
Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) and how to calculate it
Also, there will be useful resources for reading in order to review and elaborate more in each section. Frequently more reading resources will be added to the course.
Always I will be close to you during the learning sessions, and ready to answer all your concerns and questions through the Q and A part or through private messages. I will do my best to answer you on time.
Hope you enjoy the course .. and let us be in touch
Best Wishes ..

As a water engineer, this knowledge is very important for me. Thank you.

I did not think I was going to get much from this. But he breaks it down in to bite sized chunks and you come away with an awareness of the factors to consider. I may not be an expert. But I certainly know questions to ask that I did not know about before.

I was looking for some more in depth information

I'm taking this course in relation to my present inquisitiveness of water being stored in tanks and their life span of drinking quality. I've studied engineering chemistry and engineering in relation to specific heat capacities, heat loss and heat gain also water change of state using vaporization and fusion formulas.

Presentation is so smooth and clear, it will be a good start for the beginner in this industry
By Scott on 3/19/2024
It is a bit over my head but being a novice, it is refreshing to witness one who is obviously very well trained and passionate about their field.
By Bruce Levan on 2/22/2024
Yes this was very useful. I have not studied chemistry since university so this is a good review.
