Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm hoping some of you can shed some light on my dilemma. A month ago we moved into a rental home with a well. I bought a new water test kit(the stick type) from the LFS and tested my water. The nitrates where almost 40ppm from the tap. So I took a sample and took it to the lfs and they tested it themselves with there own test kit and found the results to be the same. I informed the owner of the house and he took a sample to the county to be tested. The results from the county show 6.5ppm. Myself and the lfs have continued to test the water and we are still showing levels close to 40ppm. When I test it I test it straight from the tap and when I take it to the lfs I put it in a brand new baggy. I've called the county and they couldn't give me any explanation for our high readings. They checked past history of the well it the last test was also brought in by the owner and showed 6.2ppm in 2002. But they have no records later than that and the well has to be 20 plus years old. So we are trying to track down the previous well records.
In the mean time has anyone else ran into a situation like this. I thought I'd ask before I take in a sample myself and pay the county to test it.
