Champlain Valley Water Quality, 2009
I missed putting up the water quality numbers from this spring, but in the mean time it turns out the Champlain Water District has the Water Quality Reports up on the web. Unfortunately, they’re huge PDFs since they seem to be simply bitmap scans of the paper report. :(
In any case, here’s the relevant homebrewer water quality details:
| Aluminum | 0.056 mg/L |
| Alkalinity | 57-74 ppm as CaCO3 |
| Calcium Hardness | 45-56 ppm as CaCO3 |
| Total Hardness | 61 ppm as CaCO3 (3.6 grains/gal) |
| Chloride | 17 ppm |
| Foaming Agents | less than 0.1ppm |
| Total Organic Carbon (TOC) | 2.10 ppm (1.49-2.74) |
| Conductivity | 182 µS/cm (158-202) |
| pH | 7.66 (7.4-7.94) |
| Total Dissolved Solids | 113 ppm |
| Iron | less than 0.01ppm |
| Manganese | .006 mg/L (0 – 0.023) |
| Sodium | 7.5ppm |
| Potassium | 1.31 ppm |
| Sulfate | 15 ppm |
| Silver | less than 0.005 ppm |
| Silica | 1.4 ppm |
| Silicon | 0.67 ppm |
| Bromide | less tahn 0.010 ppm |
| Iodide | less than 1 ppm |
| Flouride | 0.96 mg/L (0.71 – 1.19) |
| Ammonium Ion | 0.12 ppm (0.02-0.23) |
