These are the stats I found online thru my water company listed for my neighborhood. Most of it doesn't make sense to me...but this is hoping that someone might see something that could trigger a problem.
Sample year 2004
Regulated Substances
Barium=.029ppm max contaminant level allowed=2
Flouride-1.17ppm=max contaminant level=4
Nitrate=0.16 max cont. level= 10 ( my water test kit doesn't read any)
Unregulated Substances
Bromoform=6.8 ppb(parts per billion)
Bromodichloromethane=12.1
Chlorodbromomethane=8.7 ppb
Chloroform=24.4 ppb
Other Substances
Total Trihalomethanes=67.9 ppb mcl=80
Haloacetic acids=15 ppb mcl=60
Chlorine=1 mcl-4
These were supposedly randomly sampled at taps
Copper=.216 max level 1.3
Lead=2 max=15
This info wasn't much help for me...I already treat for chlorine etc with stresscoat. Haven't had a whole lot of problems in tanks excepting the infection possibly brought in by german blue ram. I have been able to keep PH stable with mix of RO and tap water and haven't seen any crashes yet (keeping fingers crossed)
If you guys have any suggestions about anything I possibly should check for or find out about let me know and I will try to head that direction.
