You can see all details of the water by looking at this report:

Wow !

Sydney has conductivity of 20 micro siemens ?? Is that right ?

thanks for that Ari!

Now i am very curious about ours... we have 2 water sources, 1 for drinking which is piped to the taps inside the apartment... which I guess is that one that comes from Prospect...

while another 1 is from the recycling water plant in Olympic Park which gets piped to the toilets and outside taps like on the balcony and carwash bay...

Water qualities in Sydney vary with respect to the filtration plant your supply comes from.

The results as listed by Sydney water are not always consistant...and not given on a daily basis so they are average results.....they can vary slightly on a daily basis.

I am in Epping and the pH level is fairly constant at 7.6

I run my tanks at GH and KH between 3-3.5 for both and find this gives me an electrical conductivity of 180microSiemens.

My fish seem to be happy with that.

Jh.....dont use the recycled water.....it is not for consumption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
