hi, is there any idea what constitute my water that it went north?

well water = 800ppm
tap(municipal water) = 300 ppm
water from nearby refilling station = 60ppm

i'm having a hard time figuring out my nutrient solutions because of this.

thanks

First thing I would question the readings. Have you ever tested it before and got lower readings? I would try to get someone or something else to test the water. I have an filtersystem on my tap water for my fish tank and it always reads zero PPM. My tap water runs around 25 PPM. FWIW I wouldn't drink it until it was tested and verified.

this is the first time i test.

the readings were based on available water at my disposal.

the tap water more or less 300ppm. with heavy chlorine.

i''l buy Ca test kit for aquarium tomorrow and see how much Ca it has.

i'm feeling it has too much iron due to rusted pipes.
