If you've got 10 ppm tap water readings, there's absolutely no need to do anything to it. Just add salt! |
wrong, way out to lunch on this one. we may only have 10 to 20 PPM in our water depending on the time of year but remember that is only metals.
Don't forget about phosphates, algae content (which we have a very high level of due to the mild weather) silicates, ect that are not part of a hardness test.
Victoria/Vancouver water is very soft , has a low PH, but has lots of other junk in it.

"Dissolved solids" refer to any minerals, salts, metals, cations or anions dissolved in water. This includes anything present in water other than the pure water (H20) molecule and suspended solids. Suspended solids are any particles/substances that are neither dissolved nor settled in the water.

Only metals how?
Other disolved solids include Sodium, potassium, Bicarbonates, carbonates, Sulfates, Chloride, Nitrate, Floride, Boron and Silica. All of which are not metals.
