I will start this thread for our various water reports.

I have just got back the "well water" analysis from the club:


                EU Guide   MRFC Well   Units
Alkalinity    100          267                   As CaC03 ppm   
Bacteria      N/A          NEG                   Some form of count   
Copper       2            0.03                   ppm   
Hardness    210          286                   As CaC03 ppm   
Iron             0.2          0.02                   ppm   
Nitrates      50           0.01                   ppm   
Nitrites       0.5           0.01                   ppm   
pH              6.5          7.64      
TDS             500          75                   ?

Comment: Some nice hard water here and very low on typical well pollutants  :)


So as our other reports come in I will put them here
