Post Your Tap Water Stats !

[hamfist]

Thought it might be interesting to see how people's tap water stats vary, and from what areas they come from.

Mine is ph 7.5 and nitrates are 5ppm. I live in Southampton, UK.

darlington ph 7.7 nitrates 5->10

Orlando, Florida (US)--- PH- 8.0/// Ammonia- .50 (WHY?) /// Nitrites- 0 /// Nitrates- 0 Very hard also

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

Out of the Southampton (Bitterne) tap: pH 8.2; gH 14.5; NO[sub]3 [/sub]~25; NO[sub]2 [/sub]0; NH[sub]3 [/sub]0

In tank with CO[sub]2 [/sub]system: pH 7.5; gH 13.5-14.5; NO[sub]3 [/sub]0-5; NO[sub]2 [/sub]0; NH[sub]3 [/sub]0

Newcastle: ph 7.8, nitrates 5ppm

 

[Ryefish]

Billingham, stockton-on-tees (not sure if its the same as rest of teesside)
PH: 7.4, Na: 5

 

[Lawrence]

Holland/maastricht---> 7.8-8.0

Blimey, everyone's is really alkaline. Why is this ? Is it down to water treatment ?

 

[james_fish]

My water has come up ideal. pH is at 7.4, Ammonia is trace, Also the Nitrites and Nitrates are very low.
The water is medium hardness in my area, I think. Lancashire, England.

Newcastle: ph 7.8, nitrates 5ppm

You have nitrates in your tap water? I don't. Where in Newcastle are you?

Newcastle; pH = 7.5, Ammonia = Trace, Nitrite and Nitrates = 0ppm.

Hi Alan,

Strangely enough I have the same as you!

Am sure it helped Eisenhower to settle in so quickly.
