Thanks in advance.

Likely to be several sources in an area that big- you'll need to contact your local water authority to find out which.

Cations / Anions, me/L............0.8/0.8
Sodium, Na.......6
Potassium, K......2
Calcium, Ca.......8
Magnesium, Mg...2
Total Hardness, CaCO3....28
Nitrate, NO3-N......0.5 (safe)
Sulfate, SO4-S......1
Chloride, Cl.........8
Carbonate, CO3.....<1.0
Bicarbonate, HCO3.....32

Is this the analysis AFTER running through a carbon filter?

Affirmative. Simply one of these
Though our water is pretty good to begin with.

A carbon filter does not alter the ionic content of water, so there isn't a worry there. Chlorine is the main thing that the carbon filter can remove from water.

That water report looks reasonable to me. That water comes right out of the mountains and collects in Lake Lanier.

Thanks. I am sure it is probably similar for Fulton County

Thanks for posting that, I'm in Forsyth and have started using RO water with additions. This makes me think I should just invest in a filter rather than make trips to the store for water!
