I placed a call to the water plant this afternoon....He mentioned these
ingredients they employ in their treatment program...

Aqua-Mag...for corrosion
Caustic Soda...50%
pH Levels...7.3
He couldn't remark nitrate, tsd and the like.
But they did use Chlorine...not ChlorAmine

Thanks for all your help...-ED

Our water department uses ChlorITE... is that treated the same way as
chlorine/chloramine? Also, our community adds flouride for strong
teeth... any word on what that will do to the fish, other than strong
teeth?

Just did one better, I called our RO plant and they are going to come to
my house and test the water from my tap for me.
Also found out they use chlorine here, still don't know what the chloride
is, report says "natural occurrence from soil leeching"

Soil leeching is what happens when a leech field is used. A leech field
is where sewage is dumped over a silt/gravel type substance to "filter"
back into the natural water table. Like I said, stay away from tap
water! Nasty!
