Water Test Screen
Like the Soil Test screen, the Water Test screen also contains a Depth field, but this one
is in feet instead of inches. It also contains test results for all or a subset of
compounds, and greys those values that are not applicable to those subsets.
When meq/l (milequivalents per liter) is selected, the units given for the salts and ions
in the list of compounds tested are changed from ppm (parts per million) to meq/l. Be
aware that no numerical conversion takes place where when you change units. You must enter
the correct numerical value for the units you have selected.
If you have entered the Hardness in grains per gallon (gr/gal), you can click on the
gr/gal button to convert that value to parts per million. This value should always be
stored as a ppm value.
Water Test Classifications
Screen
When you have entered all the test values, you can see the classifications for many of
those values, if this is a Domestic Water sample, by clicking on the Show Results
Classifications button. This is the only analysis that is performed by the Farm Management
program. Others may be added as their ranges and classifications become known and
standardized.
Note how some of the values and their names are greyed in the underlying Water Test
screen for this Domestic Water Test Subset. This is an example of what occurs when a Test
Subset is chosen.
