I just got a water report from Ward Labs and it lists my sulfate (SO4-S) a "2". I read in one of the stickies that you should multiply this by 3 when using the Ward Lab results. Even when multiplying by 3 this number is still incredibly low when looking at some other posts saying it should be in the 200-400 range. Am I misreading the results or do I legitimately have a really low sulfate reading? How should I correct this? Also, here is the full report, if you have any suggestions I'm all ears:
pH: 8.0
TDS, ppm: 210
Electrical Conductivity: .35
Cations/Anions, me/L: 3.6 / 3.7
(All ppm from here down)
Sodium: 25
Potassium: 3
Calcium: 24
Magnesium: 15
Total Hardness, CaCO3: 123
Nitrate: <0.1
Sulfate: 2
Chloride: 8
Carbonate: <1.0
Bicarbonate: 206
Total Alkalinity: 170
Phosphorus: 0.07
Iron: 0.31
Based on what I've read, should I just cut this with RO by 50% and add the salts back in?
