Q » How does LSI predict scaling or corrosive tendencies in water?
03 Nov, 2025
A » The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) predicts water's scaling or corrosive tendencies by assessing the water's pH, calcium concentration, total alkalinity, temperature, and total dissolved solids. A positive LSI indicates a tendency to form scale, while a negative value suggests corrosiveness. An LSI near zero denotes a balanced state, minimizing the risk of scale formation or corrosivity, thereby informing water treatment strategies effectively.
