I just got my results back from Ward Labs for my tap water. From a brewing perspective, is there anything here that is an outlier that I should be concerned about?
Is this a balanced starting place? My city is supposed to have fairly neutral water but I lack the skills to confirm that from these figures.
pH 7.1
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 0.64
Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.11
Cations / Anions, me/L 1.0 / 0.7
Sodium, Na 12
Potassium, K <1
Calcium, Ca 6.1
Magnesium, Mg 2
Total Hardness, CaCO3 23
Nitrate, NO3-N <0.1
Sulfate, SO4-S 1
Chloride, Cl 5
Carbonate, CO3 <1.0
Bicarbonate, HCO3 31
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 26
Total Phosphorus, P 0.71
Total Iron, Fe <0.01
