I have got a problem with my water assay. My water source comes from a mixture of two rivers where the mineral content varies over the seasons. River 1 the alkalinity varies from 41 to 118 while river 2 varies from 25 to 39. The other minerals (Ca, Na, Mg, Cl and SO4) are also all over the place(see attached PDF file).
Using a Seifert alkalinity kit I have measured alkalinity over 4 months and it ranged from a low of 28 up to 150. In addition I measured the TDS and this ranged from 105 to 158 PPM.
My feeling is that I need to measure the alkalinity, Ca and TDS of the water that I am going to use at the time and modify the numbers in the “Bru’n water” tab 1 (the water report tab). This I am not quite sure how to do, so I am open to suggestions. How to others handle a varying water composition. Should I use the average values for each component provided by the water authority and hope that this gets me close enough.
