Definitely not mEq/l, the units are listed as mg/L. I can't access HTB at work because of the filter, but I'll check it out when I get home. The online conversion calculator said that mg/l was PPM though, is that not the case?ETA : thanks!Are you sure the mineral quantities are in mg/L and not milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L)? Double check and then run the numbers through the conversions found in Table 13 here:https://www.howtobre...hapter15-1.htmlI think you'll find that things look much better.

I'm likely to send it to ward labs also to confim and get more difinitive numbers, I was just looking for a round about range for the area for when I move. Thing is both reports from the ajacent cities are in the same range... Thanks budYes, mg/L is ppm. I'm no water expert, but I agree that those numbers seem really low. Maybe someone else can shed more light. You may have to call your water company and verify the values/units in the report.

Those numbers are from el dorado hills, CA and Folsom, CA. Not too far outside of Sacramento, apparently most of the water comes from folsom lake and jenkinson lake in Placerville, depending on the city and its water district.Those numbers just seem really small to me in comparison to some of the numbers I've read and heard before. I'm not complaining though because like stellar brew said, I can make damn near everything without having to dilute with RO or distilled. Thanks guys, i appreciate it!Those #s seem reasonable to me. As tag said, depends on the source, but some areas can have very soft water. Out of curiosity, where are those #s from?FWIW, our municipal water here is very soft - here's the profile for my tap water:Ca 3.5ppmMg 0 ppmAlk 22.5 ppmNa 5.4 ppmCl 2.3 ppmSO4 4.6 ppm
