As a fellow Edmontonian, I'm hoping you can clarify all this for me (and others).
Reports:

If you use Bru'n water, and are looking at the Epcor reports, total alkalinity (of say 120, monthly average for October) and ph, you get bicarbonate and carbonate of 145.3 and .5 respectively using the Alkalinity Conversion Calculator. You then enter these in inputs above.
Using the calcium and magnesium inputs on the Ion Concentration Conversion Calculator using 120 CaCO3, you get Ca=48,Mg=29 and Na=9.7 from the Epcor report.
I'm getting the "water inputs are not balanced" error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
As an aside, the Ion Concentration Conversion Calculator also gives different values of bicarbonate and carbonate than the above if you use 120 CaCO3 (146,72 vastly different), why is that?
