I use RO water but a few friends don't and I've gotten one of them to get a sample to Ward Labs and they got this:
pH 7.7
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 305
Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.51
Cations / Anions, me/L 5.7 / 5.4
ppm
Sodium, Na 35
Potassium, K 3
Calcium, Ca 53.7
Magnesium, Mg 16
Total Hardness, CaCO3 202
Nitrate, NO3-N 1.0 (SAFE)
Sulfate, SO4-S 26
Chloride, Cl 35
Carbonate, CO3 < 1.0
Bicarbonate, HCO3 167
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 137
Total Phosphorus, P 0.16
Total Iron, Fe < 0.01
"<" - Not Detected / Below Detection Limit
I know how to adjust my water for RO but I actually know very little about it thanks to the calculators doing all the work.
So water nerds, tell me what this water is good for and what to look out for so I can help my besties out please.
I appreciate the help!
