Ant Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 A recent post prompted me to create this post. What are your tap waters Parameters where you live? This could prove a useful FAQ. Suburb/Town: Mclaren Flat Source: South Australia, Myponga Reservoir PH: 7.2 KH: 3-4 GH: ? Other: It doesn't have huge amounts of chlorine or chloramine. Very good water source. Suburb/Town: Hackham West Source: South Australia, Mt Bold/Happy Valley Reservoir PH: 7.4 KH: 6 GH: ? Other: Has a huge amount of chlorine and chloramine. Definitely needs to be stored and aged for 2 weeks minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colfish Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 hi Anthony good post mate, sadly, not a lot of ppl seem interested in it. but when i read between the lines on a lot of questions, i'm of the opinion a lot of ppl don't own test kits. so for my results suburb; St Marys [outer west syd] source; warragamba dam via prospect resivoir results; PH 7.5 GH 4 KH 4 comment; sydney water[supply co.] will give us a detailed analysis as to a wide range of paremeters. all said to be within acceptable limits. as a rule, not a bad drop. but during a wet spell, i can definatley notice an increase in the chlorine odour. also noticed a rise in the ph in the last 6/8mths. cheers; Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
