Tap water, about 70% limestone mountin runoff, and most of the rest is from a lake with quite a bit of organic debris, so I guess that is where the nitroen compound come from.

I use a JBL "easytest" strip test kits, so its not all that accurate...

NO3- up to 10


I don't have a test kit for tracde elements or heavy metals, so I can't tell you about them

[CAllain]

So far I've only tested KH, GH, and pH in my tap water, will edit this post as soon as I test for anything else

I'm from Bracknell, Berkshire, in England... About an hour's drive to the west of London.

pH - 8
GH - 340ppm
KH - 160ppm

Location: Colville, Washington, USA

pH - 7.8

KH - 13

GH - 16

Nitrates - 0

Nitrites - 0

The water is chlorinated and part of the city water supply.

[cuznhottie]

pH: 8.5 - 9.0
GH: off the charts
KH: off the charts
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 0

I don't have anything else that I can test for but I definitely do NOT use the tap water. A few neighboring towns have similar problems, but then others have perfectly nice water! I guess it all depends on the village tanks.

I only have two tests here in Finland, so those are the only ones I can give you.

Location: Oulu, Finland

pH: 6,2
GH: 4
so KH is something between 0 and 4.... quite dreamlike if you ask me.
