Folks,
I've had my struggles with water parameters for a bit but all seems to be good now -
except Silica.
Ammonia zero
Nitrite 0.008
Nitrate 0.9
PO4 0.01
Silica 2.3
Potassium 447
Ionic Calcium 164
Strontium 6.9
Magnesium 1340
Iodine 0,05
Copper (CU) 0.06
Alk 2.8 meg/L (
Total CA 445
I run a 4 stage RO/DI with two membranes and a booster pump - and I show 0 TDS on my output. Using ESV salts.
Where does this silica come from?
What does it do that is detrimental?
How can I lower it? (BRS says to add another DI canister to my RO/DI output line)
Help?
