how can you get the turbidity of water with only pH,Ec,and TDS ?
Taxonomy
- Biological & Chemical Quality
- Quality
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

cannot get.. Ph, Ec and TDS has nothing to with turbidity... If you are facing turbitity problem you can use Zeolite based Filtration Media Instead of Sand... It will give you better results.

Not possible. You need to have turbidity meter.

these are all independent parameters, you need a turbidimeter to physically measure the turbidity of the sample your interested in.

Turbidity measurement is totally different from the measurement of parameter you have mentioned. There is no relation between them. Please check turbidity from a turbidity meter and then select the proper filtration membrane which can remove the turbidity from water, if you require it.

Hi Joseph, unfortunately you cannot, Turbidity is a specific measurement associated with clarity of water and is reported in NTU with no direct relation with pH or dissolved salts
Turbidity is determined by the amount of light scattered off particles . While this measurement can then be used to estimate the total dissolved solids concentration, it will not be exact.
A relationship can be found between suspended solids and turbidity but again this will need to be determined specifically for your water and so total suspended solids would also need to be determined, see attached reference
If you need further assistance you are welcome to contact me

You can't. Turbidity is a measure of light scattering by particulates. Conventional drinking water treatment is designed to remove particulates, MF membranes will also reduce particulates and turbidity.

Dear Joseph, all the compounds you have data for are dissolved and turbidity is particle based, that is why you just have no chance to tell anything about the turbidity in your samples. You will need to measure turbidity - or at least filter residue and dry residue to somehow estimate the turbidity.

Hi if you talking to make save water via separating Turbidity ...then please check this Nadi filter can do to clean Turbidity and make safe and clean drinking water
