I added my home water profile to BC3 based on the mineral profile date I received from a professional lab analysis report. After entering the mineral profile the water analysis calculated values for Alkalinity & Effective Hardness were very different than the values provided in the lab report.
Is there any way to override the analysis data from BC3 with the actual lab-tested values?
Should I be concerned that the BS3 results are different from real-world?
The Lab report is MUCH more comprehensive with ~80 various mineral/chemical/bacterial/corrosivity/hardness/turbidity results (you get the idea...)
e.g. of relevant details plugged into BS3:
Mineral Profile:
Ca: 22.70
Mg: 7.90
Na: 5.40
SO4: 19.00
CL: 11.10
HCO3: 78.00
The analysis differences between those calc'd by BC3 vs the KAR Labs report are as follows:
(Lab Report / BS3)
Alkalinity (as CaCO3): 79 / 64
Eff. Hardness (as CaCO3): 102 / 24
