    To what I know on kH and dkH exist. kH (carbonated hardness in terms of ppm)and dkH (carbonated hardness in terms of degrees). Both measures the acidity of the water.
    Everything should be made as simple as possible...but not one bit simpler.

    KH is actually from the German term Karbonathärte. dKH means Deutsh Karbonathärte (German carbonate hardness). Both are the same thing.

    KH measure the alkalinity or acid buffering capacity of the water.

    The units of KH or dKH is °dKH (degrees dKH). 1°dKH is approximately 17.8ppm equivilent of CaCO3.
