Just got a report from the local water dept, (it was like I was asking them in a foreign language, but anyway)
Calcium 1.7 ppm
Chloride 8.0 ppm
Sodium 5.6 ppm
Sulfate 1.0 ppm
Total Hardness 7.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 9.0 ppm
Total Dossolve solids 28.1
pH 7.3
We use chlorine gas for disinfection
I asked about Magnesium, they don't test for that, but he said it was "low".
I played around with EZ water calc, and found what to add to balance my water for a smash test, but it seemed a little counter intuitive to add a two "PH downs" 3g Cal chloride and 5g Epsom and and a "PH UP" 5g of Chalk.

Comments and advice appreciated.
