Jim, those look pretty good to me. CH is on the low end so just don't let that fall any lower. You're in a pretty good place right now.

Thanks, that’s what I was hoping you’d say. What would you think a reasonable total hardness level should be? I can work my way up there. Jim

350 is about perfect for most people, but you get 54 inches (?) of rain annualy and thats most of a free water exchange with 0 calcium. So you'll likely be adding calcium somewhat frequently, depending on how high you go above 350 to buy some time. 450 is probably a good happy medium if your CSI agrees.

Thanks, I will nudge it up as the rainy season winds down over the next months. I started with a pound today. Jim
