How to read the LSI and RSI. Bands follow GPSA Section 18, the Betz Handbook and SPX 2009; treatment programmes with scale inhibitors can run at LSI up to about +2.5.

What it does

All the indices

LSI, RSI, PSI and Larson-Skold at bulk and skin temperature, at current and recommended cycles.

Which limit comes first

Calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, silica, magnesium silicate, chloride and conductivity — the governing limit sets the recommended cycles.

Acid feed

Acid dose to reach a target alkalinity or pH, and the sulfate it adds.

Treatment programme cost

Each product by its general function, dose basis and price; actual versus recommended use.

Recommendations

A ranked list of findings, from low oxidant at high pH to overdosed products.

Generic chemistry only

No supplier names; works for any treatment programme.

Built for engineers

  • Visible formulas — nothing hidden, so you can check every step.
  • Fully referenced — methods from the standard references, checked against their published worked examples.
  • Safe to share — sheets are protected against accidental edits, with an open password so you can still customise.
  • Built-in input checks — clear warnings for impossible inputs and values outside typical ranges.

For engineering estimates; verify against site data. Code-based methods are aligned with the publicly documented procedure; they are not a licensed reproduction or a certification.
