Just got my Wards water analysis

[SeeMont]

I just got my Wards water analysis this week and I am confused. I live in the mountains and my water comes from a 50 foot deep well. I am looking at the numbers and they seem very very soft for well water. If something wrong? What do you think? I appreciate your wisdom.

Elect Con .10

Sodium 4
Potassium < 1
Calcium 11

Bicarbonate 39
Total Alkalinity 32
Total Phosphorus .02
Total Iron <.01

Mountain water sources tends to come almost exclusively from rain, which is naturally distilled, which explains your low mineral content.

That is beautiful water to build upon. I'm very jealous.

So jealous, even with softened, then 3 stage filter, then a 3 stage RO filtration system I can't get water like that.

Thanks so much for the replys. I do know that it is clean, cold and right from the mountain source. I have been told that the water was hard but the numbers prove that to be true. Thanks again.
