I just purchased a house that is on a private well. I have never had a well before, so it is all new to me. Below are the results I got from a sample I sent to Ward Laboratories. This is straight from the well with no filtering or adjustment of any kind. How good is this for brewing? Do I need to make any adjustments?
pH 5.4
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 21
Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.04
Cations / Anions, me/L 0.2 / 0.1
ppm
Sodium, Na 3
Potassium, K < 1
Calcium, Ca 1
Magnesium, Mg < 1
Total Hardness, CaCO3 7
Nitrate, NO3-N < 0.1 (SAFE)
Sulfate, SO4-S < 1
Chloride, Cl 2
Carbonate, CO3 < 1.0
Bicarbonate, HCO3 < 1
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 < 1
Total Phosphorus, P < 0.01
Total Iron, Fe 0.09
"<" - Not Detected / Below Detection Limit
I know there are some of you on here that really know you stuff when it comes to water.
Thanks for any info.
