pH value
The water cooling cartridge partially consists of a copper and nickel alloy, to which the following applies:
- Corrosion issues when pH value is < 6
- The following applies to alkaline water:
- → Corrosion problems when water hardness is < 6°dH.
- Lower values can lead to corrosion due to free carbon dioxide.
- The following table describes the classification of the water quality based on the pH value:
pH value | Water quality |
|---|---|
4.5 | Strongly acidic |
4.5 – 6.0 | Acidic |
6.0 – 6.8 | Slightly acidic |
7.0 | Neutral |
7.2 – 7.7 | Slightly alkaline |
7.7 – 8.2 | Alkaline |
8.2 | Strongly alkaline |
