| Hardness | 380 to 450 mg/L (23 to 26 grains per gallon) |
Hardness in grains is useful when setting your water softener to the correct setting. |
| pH |
7.7 |
pH is an expression of the intensity of the basic or acid condition of a liquid. pH may range from 0 to 14, where 0 is the most acid, 14 the most basic and 7 neutral. |
| TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) | 598 mg/L | A measurement of all of the dissolved solids in a water. Environmental Protection Agency has set a recommended maximum level of 1000 mg/L. |

Nitrates (click for more details) |
0.2 mg/L | EPA's maximum contaminant level for Nitrates is 10 mg/L. Nitrates and Nitrites are nitrogen-oxygen chemical units which combines with various organic and inorganic compounds. Once taken into the body, Nitrates are converted into Nitrites. The greatest use of Nitrates is as a fertilizer. |
| Fluoride | 0.2 mg/L | EPA's maximum contaminant level for Fluoride is 4 mg/L. Fluoride is a water additive which promotes strong teeth; erosion of natural deposits; discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories. We do not add fluoride to any of our water. |
| Iron | < 0.02 mg/L | EPA's recommended maximum contaminant level for Iron is 0.3 mg/L. |
| Sulfates | 239 mg/L | EPA's recommended maximum contaminant level for Sulfates is 500 mg/L. If a water system if greater than 500 mg/L, the supplier must satisfactorily demonstrate that there is no better quality water, then up to 1000 mg/L is acceptable. |
| Lead (click for more details) | Not detected | Lead and Copper are regulated in a treatment technique which requires systems to take tap water samples at sites with lead pipes or copper pipes that have lead solder and/or are served by lead service lines. The action level, which triggers water systems into taking treatment steps if exceeded in more than 10% of tap water samples, for copper is 1.3 mg/L, and for lead is 0.015mg/L. |
| Manganese | Not detected | EPA's recommended maximum contaminant level for Manganese is 0.05 mg/L. |
