I'm new to water chemistry and just got my water report from the local company. The report they gave me has ranges. I know I should go through ward labs to get an official report for my water, do y'all think I should use the high or low range, or just split the difference in the meantime? Here are my results:
PH: 7.25 - 7.63
Calcium: 47 - 66.5 ppm
Magnesium: 10.2 - 11.5 ppm
Sodium: 28.4 - 41.2 ppm
Sulfate: 17.5 - 20.1 ppm
Chloride: Non-Detect - 7.44 ppm
Bicarbonate (listed as alkalinity): 229 - 258 ppm
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not new to homebrewing, but new to water chemistry as it has always intimidated me.
