  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.
