Water treatment

[ryanshelton]

Got my Salifert kit today so tested my water. Reading the table I get 2.34 x 50= 117 and the other information I got from the Severn Trent water website

What I want to know is does the dosage look correct? I know its down to what info I put into the calculator but are there any glaring problems anyone can see?

how long is a piece of string is the kind of answer i'm sorry to say . What was your inputs and what is your goal (style of beer )

 

[ryanshelton]

Thought that might be the answer. Style of beer I selected was stout. I'll post what I inputted when I'm back on the laptop just wondered if anything was much higher than what is 'normal'

 

[ryanshelton]

ok so this is the info i have:

Cac03 (as tested with Salifert) 116 mg/l

Magnesium 2.32 mg/l

sodium 22 mg/l

sulphate 57.55

chloride 0.35 mg/l

do these figures sound 'normal'?

 

[pittsy]

all except the chloride , should it be 35 ppm ?

Taken this of STW website. Any help?

That report gives chlorine. That is a disinfectant, not the chloride ion. It looks like the report doesn't provide that information.

how did i not spot that?!

 

[ryanshelton]

Jusy had another look on the report. Found it, 10.726(average) mg/l. does that sound more realistic?

My supply is seven Trent also, our chloride is 92mg/l over this way.

 

[ryanshelton]

Mmm your not far from me really so struggling to see why mine is so low?

 

[ryanshelton]

Ok just checked the full report and noticed there are a few 'parameters for supply point'. The 10.726 is for bamford wtw then there's little Eaton wtw at 26.425 then homesford wtw 26.163 I have absolutely no idea which one I'd come under??

If you ring up they will pass on to one of the lab people or get them to ring you. They are happy to give all the figures over the phone. They gave me all apart from alkalinity which I'll test using a salifert kit when it arrives.
