So im moving back to arkansas soon (back to our same previous, new house)
And im in a Huge "WTF" mode with what i should do with my 40b dutch.
The water up there is LIQUID ROCK, the pH is above 7.8 and the gh is through the roof from what i remember
Here are our current options:
1- Our house is connected to a water softener, so we cant use this water for the tank due to high silicates and in my experience it messes everything up
2- We have a WELL at the house, i haven't tested this water, but i figure its exactly the same as the tap water (Liquid Cement/Rock)
3- I submit to purchasing and remove 300-400 dollars from my car fund to purchase a R/O system to use for this entire operation. And set this up where the water softener is.
Here is what i currently have to do, since i do not know the parameters of the Well water, i need to get it professionally tested. How can i do this? My step father told me i can Send it off for around 50$ to get it tested at some facility. Can i do this? how? if not what do i do? im kind of in panic mode. My scapes here in georgia (8gh/8kh out of tap, and a 6.8 pH base) have done absolutely nothing but thrive. And from what i remember in arkansas they all where Awful and extremely unhealthy due to liquid rock water.
