The report details drinking water quality for the last 12 months. The information is updated weekly and complies with regulation 35 (2) of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000.

Stinky don't come around anymore:(:(:(

sad, but anyone else any thoughts?

wow did you actually get that report from water coming out of your tap?

or is it published by your municipal water supply company or something?

if you did that yourself... how did you get that? if you tell me you have your own mass spectrometer or something... I think i want you to be my new best friend lol

I worked at a city waterworks, when I was young ... whenever I was curious about anything on those test printouts, I'd call the local water softener store, ask them specifics, 'some' of those guys knew their stuff ... in general, if you're using drinking water anywhere in the USA, your only concerns will be pH, chlorine, and calcium levels ... you can adjust the pH, no biggie ... the chlorine will evaporate overnite, faster if aerated, and calcium is usually a good thing ... calcium will buffer the nitrates in the ferts, etc ... great question, makes my brain hurt, trying to remember that stuff :D ... good luck :thumbsup:

I gotta confess, I had Stinky handcuffed, in my basement :eek: ... she escaped the other day, and posted here, before disappearing again ... REWARD IF FOUND !! :computerlove1:

hey guys thanks for the quick replys.syde00 yeh got the info of the net,took soooooo long. my area is fed from multiple sources(all above ground reses and rivers)so i had to trace back to the source.then found the last point of testing(they have multiple points of testing along the network) and thats the figures i have for the last run of pipes to my area.very confuseing when stoned lol.
so, can anyone tell me if 34.2 mg ca/l on average is enough(i'm useing the full canna aqua line btw).

any thoughts welcomed.................

where stinky go? I hope he is ok . I need to be stoned to read that chart-you must be joking. Just distill your water and adjust the ph and be done with the complications. The idea is to keep this shit simple-its hard enough lets simplify as much as we can-agreed? Now pass the oint....
