Water profile Columbia SC

[Steven9026]

Anyone here from Columbia, SC able to get a water profile? I have tried every angle that I know and cannot get any reports that shows the alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium levels.. I have been able to find out the levels of 163 other things in their water...

Thanks,, I've talked to them and they gave me info,, but none of it included the items that I needed.. They also told me they don't test for magnesium. I got a report from my local DHEC office and it listed 163 things on the test results, but alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium levels were not on the list...

Just a shot in the dark, but you could see if there are any Water bottling companies in the area. If they are selling water, government agencies require them to test for just about everything and most of the time they are pretty good about sending you the report.

I use Spring water from Walmart. The walmart brand water is bottled by a company out of Pennsylvania. I emailed them and they sent me a 5 page water report that had much more than I needed.

You may end up sending samples to wards. There's also a Brewing water test kit that John Palmer endorses that includes tests for all of the brewing minerals. It's pricey though, $120 for about 50 tests.

No report here but the Clemson Extension offices on Clemson road in Northeast Columbia evaluate all things agricultural including water profiles. Give them a call, I feel sure they could help. Good luck!
