Hello,
The local PB in my area recommended against using a SWG because of the hard water and them having had issues with recent installs and scaling on the plates. Getting a TF test kit is difficult in UK (I'll probably end up buying the Lovibond MD200 6 in 1 in due course) but for now I have the local waterboard figures and my own test from installing the water softner in the house (total hardness 390ppm) or water board figures 323 mg/l
Given the range suggested for a SWG up to 300ppm, I wondered if I could just dilute the water fill with some of the house softened water to get back within the range. I appreciate that might take a little time running through the water softner and regen cycles but will this work?
The other item from the waterboard figures I noticed is the Alkalinity at 331. Is this the same as total alkalinity? In which case I would need to aerate to lower?
Thanks
