dont know if its any use, but a test from sentinal will give you a report like this:

Comments
System cleanliness
Appearance of system water is satisfactory
Chloride level indicates satisfactory conditions
Scale formation should not be a problem as the Sentinel X100 level is sufficient to prevent scale from forming.
Iron level is satisfactory.
Copper level is satisfactory
Aluminium level is high, indicating that corrosion has taken place. System flush is required.
Conductivity is acceptable with respect to system cleanliness, but see further comments under 'Sentinel X100 Concentration'
Sentinel X100 Concentration
pH is satisfactory
The conductivity is low and system may only be partially treated with Sentinel X100. Check comments for Molybdate and Boron. Add extra Sentinel X100 if
required .
Molybdate level is low. Extra Sentinel X100 is required
Boron level is satisfactory
Recommendations
System cleanliness
If system flush recommended for any of results above, flush with flushing agent such as Sentinel X400, Ferroquest or Sentinel Deposit Remover, following
instructions on bottle. Ensure all cleaner is thoroughly removed.
Refill and treat with Sentinel X100. For optimum results the flushing should be undertaken using a mechanical flushing aid such as Sentinel Jet Flush.
Sentinel X100 Concentration
If extra Sentinel X100 is recommended for any of the results above, addition is recommended to manufacturers instructions.
NOTE: Interpretation of results is based on the system being treated with Sentinel X100.
