My Murphy's water report

Reverse osmosis, removes pretty much everything and just leaves you with H2O. Purifies it basically and then you can add salts to it to make you desired water profile

How the heck do you do that?

Does anybody know if WallyBrew is around at the moment?
I PM'd him a few days ago about water analysis and no reply as yet!

Yes, he's around.

It goes through a fine mesh filter which removes most of the solids. How much depends on how fine the filter is.

I'm starting to query the benefit of having your water tested, as it varies month by month depending on rainfall and which bore hole the water company is using. Meaning that as far as I can see the test is only valid for a short while.

I'm leaning towards installing an RO system and building water up from the blank slate it provides.

Well it's true that some people's water varies a lot. Mine on the other hand is quite stable year in, year out. A few people who do have variable water tend to get it tested frequently for a time to build up a profile.

I had one lab test done, which was very much in line with water board reported averages. However, I have measured the alkalinity changing significantly enough to adapt my treatment. What I do, is assume that the calcium is always roughly 50% of the CaCO3 level, and take this into consideration. I don't make any enquiry into the sulphate/chloride levels, as I'm usually boosting those enough to negate the moderate starting levels in our water. Good enough for me for now, rather than a monthly lab test.
