That TDS & PHOS level is kinda high ain't they?
The water has a salty taste to it.
What do you recommend?
oh, by the way, my sig."Man!,this water is cold! is just me trying to be funny.
Do you have a SWG? If so, what kind? Salt level of 2500 is below the taste threshold (and too low for most SWGs to operate well, which could be the reason for the Mustard, along with a CYA of only 50 ppm, which is also low for a SWG. Your TDS is only 1100 ppm above your salt so that is your actual TDS (which is a bogus measurement anyway). Phosphates are a non issue in 99% of cases. Mine ore over 3000 ppb!
