      Triton results from Scripps

      Hey everyone,

      As part of a special project for MACNA this year, we have been asked to take some samples from the Scripps water supply to send to Triton for analysis. Triton is doing a talk at MACNA and they will be sharing their results as a part of that talk. In case you are unfamiliar with Triton, they are a German company that will test your water for a huge amount of different things. Not only do they report back on the typical stuff like calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, ph, etc. but they test for many different metals and other contaminents as well. It should be very interesting to see what their tests come up with.

      Look for the results right after MACNA. I will post them here. Or better yet, why not head out to MACNA and hear about it in person? It is a great show and there are a lot of us heading out there next month. Show dates are September 4 - 6 and it is in DC. Here is a link for more info:

      MACNA 2015

      It will be interesting to find out what's lurking in our water off the coast here.

      IIRC for about $50 you can have Triton test your water.
