Hi all,
A friend of mine has some evil well water. It's loaded with iron and organics. Even with trickling it to precipitate out the iron and PP to clean up the organics, her fancy goldies are still not happy. She's purchased a RO filter and I've been working on trying to build a calculator to make it easy to figure out how much calcium chloride, mag sulfate, potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate to add to reconstitute the water.
If anyone's geeky with chemistry and has the time to doublecheck my calculations, please take a look and let me know if I've spazzed on anything. It's an Excel spreadsheet.

The next step after I'm sure this part's happy will be building in some trace elements.
Thanks!
Betty
