I highlighted a few items on it that I would like to comment on. First off, the water report does pass primary drinking water standards, but it does have some significant problems with the quality due to poor post treatment practices in the plant. Of course we have remedied these problems as I'm sure you will notice when re- testing the distributed water. Comments in order of water analysis; Note Yellow highlighted constituents. 1. Sodium. 152 Mg/I. This is high due in part to the membrane issues that were resolved by changing out elements earlier this month. 2. Alkalinity. 26 mg/I. This Alkalinity number is shown as Calcium Carbonate. The number is low indicating that no post treatment has been done to the permeate SWRO water. Typically, this number should be between 40-60 Mg/I. Without proper alkalinity in the water, it is extremely aggressive in nature and will cause severe corrosion to water heaters and fixtures.
