Water analysis??

JOHN51277 · Jul 16, 2010

I just found the results from last years water analysis and I have no idea what my water is like, and what it is good/bad for. Can someone tell me what I am working with here??

sodium 5.2 ppm
diethlyhexyl 1.3 ppb
chlorine .90 ppb
copper .785 ppm
lead 3.5 ppb

There's no usable info there. You need Calcium, Magnesium, Alkalinity/Hardness, Chloride, and Sulfate.

www.wardlab.com. For about 20 dollars, they will send you an analysis of your water with all of the important parameters.

Here is a great thread. Maybe a little confusing at first, but there is a wealth of info in it.
