Analysis report:

Reporting city: Santee

Report: Horrible. Tastes like dirt most of the time.

Hope that's not to much technical data for you :D

I was looking for some trace elements analysis for my planted tank. Its not possible to test for those with our test kits.

I was also looking to see what out tap water KH and GH. My Salifert KH says its 9.0.

simplisticly, high TDS means more crap and runoff is in our drinking water. Some people in clean states have a TDS of 50ppm. Ours tends to be 400-700, which is a very considerable range.
