Hardness
ppm
40
Hardness is a measure of the amount of calcium and magnesium salts in water. Hard water creates scaling and soap scum. Soft water creates a better lather, but can be corrosive. Calcium chloride is added as a corrosion inhibitor.
Sodium
ppm
40
Sodium is present in water and is one of the main salt-forming ions. Undetectable by taste at low concentrations, it helps replenish electrolytes in the body.
Chloride
ppm
30
Chloride is found naturally in water as salt; typically as sodium chloride or calcium chloride.
Fluoride
ppm
0.53
Fluoride occurs naturally on earth and is released from rocks into the soil, water, and air. All groundwater contains some fluoride.
Alkalinity
ppm
78
Alkalinity is a measure of water's ability to neutralize acids. It results primarily from dissolving limestone or dolomite minerals in the aquifer.
