I hope this is a case of some good news with maybe some bad (hopefully not much bad). I will have a 28k plaster pool in a couple of weeks so I had my well tested. It is used for irrigation only.
All listed in ppm unless otherwise indicated
Sodium 474.4
Calcium 199.6
Boron 1.6
Magnesium 72.2
Potassium 4
Nitrate-N 2.8
Chloride 485.3
Sulfate 847.4
Bicarbonate 269.1
Copper 0 :-D
Manganese 0
Iron 0 :-D
Total dissolved solids 2290.2
pH 8.4
EC (umhos/cm) 3470
Hardness (ppm, 17.1 ppm = 1 grain/gal) 795 (very hard, I should be able to walk on water, lol)
Alkalinity (ppm as CaCO3) 220.6
Sodium % 56.5
NH4-N --
ICAP-P --
So what can I expect? I assume I won't need to add as much salt. Also need to bring the pH down. I really don't know what else. I will have a SWG and I hope to follow BBB and add borates if possible. Any insight/help/hints are greatly appreciated.
