just for giggles, if you can, try disconnecting the relay board. That will allow you to test the Arduino and the sensors by themselves. Who know, you may be getting some weird ground loop interference voodoo. I also notice that between the two wire diagrams, that one ties the Arduino into the...

You could keep the system you have and build a water tank out of schedule 80 pvc.

You based your additions off of a old water report that wasn’t taken from your taps. If your going to make alterations to your water, you should have a water profile done on your water, not the water from where ever the city took their samples. If you don’t want to get a test kit, or send a...
