Hi all, I'm putting together some info on water treatment and I was hoping to find a hard water profile to use as a sample case. Do any of you have a recent water profile for the Leixlip area (or surrounding regions) that you'd be willing to share? It doesn't matter if it's just a snapshot in time. I'd rather have an accurate snapshot than one that averages the readings out over time. Your help would be appreciated! Peter
