Charcoal filters do not lower the ppm, all they can do is remove particulates and odors.
The purpose of these systems is to keep plumbing in good shape, and allow potable water. Potable is not necessarily the same as what I personally would call good for living things to live in, and I'm basing that on my extensive experience in the aquatics ornamentals and exotics trade. E.G. Potable water can be considered safe to use even if you can smell chlorine in it. But, would you dump it into your fish tank?wow im greatly appreciative of all the info and insights given by you guys, some that I would never thought of such as the pressure pump of the system.
I'll check with the owner and see what he has to say about it.
i know he has spent lots of money to clean up the water as much as possible cause I saw quite a few sediment filters, a water softener and a magnesium filter.
One thing that just crossed my mind and wanted to throw out there is the kind of salt pellets 'Im using. They are Mortons brand in the 40lb yellow bag and I had an a blue bag which is the iron remover as well. Perhaps this is also contributing to the problems as well?
Is this the KLC potassium salt you're referring to Lead?
ok if all the water is ran through a bunch of sediment filters first before being discharged through the facet. Should I just unhook the softner and the magnesium filter as well?
