Tap water readings


Recommended Posts

Happy New Year all!

Today I was testing my FW tanks and decided to test the tap water.

Here are my results, using API test kits and a BBQ thermometer:

temp= 66F

pH= >7.6(only had the low range pH, but already knew it was high)

KH= 4

GH= 143.2ppm, or 8 drops

This is a significant change from the city's website, and I can only assume due to changes

in route from the plant to my house.

Has anyone else tested theirs' and found similar readings? Thoughts, info, etc.

I haven't test mine, but I used about 90 gallons of it to start my tank. The rest I got from RCA and the machine outside HEB. I really need to break down and buy a RO unit, but for now it is two 5 gallon jugs every week. :(
