@MWJB
so do you add anything to the Waitrose water to increase any minerals or reduce the chloride etc? It's cheap enough as water so...

@MWJB
thanks for that so I could play around a bit with the tap water and the brita to get to 40mg/l alkalinity and my CaCO3 is ok at...

@Rob1@MWJB@DavecUK
sorry are we not agreeing above, I say 40 to 60 mg/l and so do you? Am I not understanding something?
Anyhow I...

Perhaps the only way to get to any of the figures the SCAA suggest is to use RO and then add back the minerals that you need/require...

How do people test Volvic water for alkalinity, with a drop test again, same I have done with the tap water? The labels of...

@Rob1
The kit I purchased is shown above in the thread, Salifert Carbonate Hardness/Alkalinity. Not sure why they say hardness when...

@Lesd
Bottled water will usually list bicarbonate in mg/l from which you can calculate alkalinity.
Forget "limescale" and forget...

Having trouble saving the worksheet, can you advise what I need to do?

@ajohn
Thanks for the message. It helps a lot because I think trying to get to the best solution is doing my head in a little...

I have used your supplied spreadsheet and after putting in some numbers I believe that if I use a mixed ratio of tap water and...

So, tests repeated again and they were as follows:
1. Tap water: (KH value in dKH)
3.35 (x17.86 = 59.83mg)

Hi ajohn
i don't have a machine as yet. About to buy one, seriously considering the ACS Minima or a HX, something like a Bezzera BZ10...

So I rely on the Southern Water readings for the CaCO3 of 100 and don't query that, take it for gospel as being correct. Presumably then...

Amazon have the following kits if I need these as well although it is getting expensive but maybe worth it in the long run. Presumably...

Hi
So I have used the 'kit' and the results I get are as follows:
