Convert hydroponic EC (mS/cm) to PPM (TDS) and back. Supports 500 and 700 scale conversion factors for all popular nutrient meters.
This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
BTU/hr = Gallons × 8.34 × ΔT(°F) ÷ Hours; Add 20% safetyThe calculation requires: Reservoir Volume, Current Temp, Target Temp, Cool-Down Time. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.
