Caryl Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Yes, please turn off the caplock Your local council should be able to give you a comprehensive readout of the water contents if you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 From another post This is a email sent to me from the Christchurch City Council On Wed 3rd November 2004. Thought it may be of interest. It shows the ave of the water quality in Christchurch Hi Tim, Water data as requested: Also, the water at your Beckenham site is likely to have a variable pH due to variable water sources, aeration times etc. but typically this will be an average of 7 - 8. Phosphate <0.05ppm Reactive silica is 16ppm At Stanmore Road the phosphate level is <0.05ppm Reactive silica is 20ppm pH is 7.8 Hope this helps, Regards, Gareth Phillips A typical average analysis of Christchurch Water pH: 7.8 pH after aeration: 8.2 g/m3 Acidity to pH 8.3 (as CO3): 1 g/m3 Total Alkalinity to pH 4.5 as HCO3: 52 g/m3 Turbidity (TU): Less than 1 Nitrate Nitrogen: 1 g/m3 Sulphate: 5.0 g/m3 Chloride: 5.0 g/m3 Calcium: 2.0 g/m3 Fluoride: Less than 0.1 g/m3 Magnesium: 1.5 g/m3 Potassium: 1.0 g/m3 Sodium: 6.1 g/m3 Reactive Silica (as SO2): 16.0 g/m3 Total Hardness (as CaCO3): 45 g/m3 Conductivity at 20ûC (ms/m): 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFFABOY Posted December 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Didn't realise by having caps on that MY BIG LETTERS were making you moderators DEAF.Come on guys you can't be such a bunch of geeks to warrant commenting on caps lock.I was just too lazy to turn them off and on constantly. Secondly i have a well ,how would the local council have any idea what my water quality was if they not supplying me?Don't they add minerals and other chemical additives into THEIR water supply...which mine wouldn't have? If so where would i get a test like that done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Didn't realise by having caps on that MY BIG LETTERS were making you moderators DEAF.Come on guys you can't be such a bunch of geeks to warrant commenting on caps lock.I was just too lazy to turn them off and on constantly. A certain rule of politeness ... which is accepted WORLDWIDE by computer users on forums.. chat rooms.. mail.. and most other forms of communication, is to only use caps to emphasize a point, or to show anger or shouting. It is also an accepted (un-written) rule here... which is just being polite, which the above reference to the moderators is not. If you are not happy with the above, then take your caps (and your attitude) elsewhere. On your water prob... Take your water sample to your LFS... they will test it. If you want a more comnprehensive test, take a sample to a local Uni, or Lab... they will give you a full rundown... but it may cost. Regards, Bill.
