Desalination water suply

[Mattzilla]

Hi guys,

According to the telly my area and a lot of areas in Sydney will start to receive water from the Desalination Plant as of tonight.

Anyone know anything about the quality of the water fish wise? or how it will affect our fish? God knows what chemicals they are pumping into it to make it safe to drink for humans.

I'll be keeping a close eye on things over the coming weeks

thanks
Matt

Technically the Desal water will be just a slightly lower grade then RO so if anything it should be better (stable 150ppm tds vs 96-136 from prospect/warragamba), from what i understand they'll be using the De sal water to top up prospect res as well eventually which means most of greater syd will have a mix of dam storage and desal water.

the water in the res has been tempremental, i'm getting a ph of 7.3-7.6 out of the tap and a kh of 5~9 as well as massive spikes in chloroamine after rain. I was hoping the desal would help stabilize it, if for no other reason to make adjusting my water chemisrty more idiot proof but i guess linking the Desalination plant to prospect is still a few years away.
