Big Post Of Water Around Australia

Thinking of having one of these water tests completed so I know exactly what I have at my outlet. Anyone had something similar done. I realise its going to vary throughout the year but would be interesting to see if its even close to what the water company supply.

I sent my water to the University of Minnesota when we built the house. We have a 68M deep well. It is very good with just a tiny hint of calcium and iron. We went 2 years without a water softener. I don't know what you call them there, water conditioners? With my sodastream, Perrier can kiss my asterisk

For brewing I take the water before conditioning. Same circuit as the garden spigot.

Has anyone obtained a more recent profile for South Perth/Kewdale?

I'm trying to get a hold of some contacts to get a copy..

This is the water report for Melville, Perth as of August 2012.

Its only in 'ranges' so its not that specific, but it gives you an Idea.

Was given these numbers for Toowoomba water coming from the Mt Kynoch treatment plant.

The median for 2012-13 data (results generally deviate little from the medium in these data)

Calcium - 12mg/L
Magnesium - 10.5mg/L
Bicarbonate - 58 mg/L
Sulphate - 1.3 mg/L
Sodium - 11.5 mg/L
Chloride - 32.2 mg/L

The artesian bores that used to feed into the water supply are now decommisioned and the basalt bores only supply some localised areas apparently.

I've just emailed off a request for a report, I'm in Bentley so should cover the same area. Will post it when it arrives;

Cheers

I tried entering my local water, but it stuffed my keyboard

 

[ridge runner]

anyone have a water report for kwinana WA area at all ?

 

[MCHammo]

After searching a while, I finally found where the Sydney results are [now] stored. All the old links put up here are obsolete. If you trundle over to this page and pick your local supply system, you should be able to pull up the typical analysis for your area.

 

[ridge runner]

Found a water report for kwinana on west coast brew crew site. So if anyone dids it can post here.

for those in the budding metropolis of Coffs Harbour, see attached water data.

Orange, NSW water. This isn't from the council, this was privately tested from a blend of two samples I got from the kitchen tap.

Metals - tested to CA14106. If not listed, concentration is <0.01mg/l

Calcium 9.9 mg/l
Copper 0.02 mg/l
Magnesium 7.1 mg/l
Potassium 3 mg/l
Silica (Si02) 4.9 mg/l
Sodium 10 mg/l
Zinc 0.03 mg/l
Total hardness: 54.0 mg\l

Anions - test method CA15000

Chloride (Cl) 14 mg/l
Sulfate (SO4) 4 mg/l

Alkalinity - test method CA12121

Total alkalinity (CaCO3) 53 mg/l
Phenolphthalein alkalinity (CaCO3) <25 mg/l

pH @ 25°C 7.4

Time to venture into the wonder of water treatment. Looks like a nice clean slate anyway.

Berry, Nowra & Northern Shoalhaven NSW mid 2014

ppm.

Ca 22
Mg 3.3
Na 10.3
Cl 18.7
SO4 16.6
HCO3 55.2

Alkalinity 45.7
pH 7.97

These are mean values but the anion/cation imbalance is only 0.02 meq/L so it's pretty balanced.

Probably need to add Calcium to bring it up to 50 - 100 ppm as either CaSO4 or CaCl2 depending on your desired SO4/Cl ratio.

The initial link MHB posted is no longer valid for Hunter Water - Covers Dungog, Lemontree, Grahamstown, Nelson Bay, Anna Bay and Gresford.

The only chemical it doesn't have (to put in BeerSmith at least) is Bicarbonate...

Median for Grahamstown

PH - 7.4
Ca - 11 ppm
Mg - 5.3 ppm
Na - 24.2 ppm
SO4 - 30 ppm
Cl - 42 ppm
HC03 - ?

Wow Cervantes that does look like some absolutely rubbish water you have to battle with there, damn.
