[QUOTE="Doc, post: 7607217, member: 71986"] Since Local authorities took over from EA water abstraction licences we have had them around with the clipboard. Ours is a spring fed underground tank piped to a 5000L tank in a store room. pH at 5.3, no surprise as that is normal from peaty soils over clay and perfectly safe, which the 1000+ years of human habitation in the area attests. To appease LA, I too put 25kg Jurapearle and 10Kg MgO in a mesh bag which sits over the outlet to pump. A low flow type system. pH raised to 6.3 now at the tap. LA happy as the (arbitrary) threshold is pH 6. You can get an aquarium pH testing kit for £10, which will be as accurate as, any to monitor. [/QUOTE]
