Hi all

wondering if anyone can offer an explanation on my water please

so this morning filled up some barrels from my storage tank via my water pump / transfer hose

so the as soon as the first barrel is filling i look and see that that water is clearly not right... it had like a white slight powdery look to it... so filled the barrel and towards the end seemed to return to normal... checked the TDS of this barrel - reading 007ppm.

So then checked PPM of storage tank water ... 000ppm

so filled another barrel water looked as it should... reading 0

filled remaining barrels again reading 0

so can anyine offer an explanation on the first barrel please?

only thing i can think of is the pump / transfer pump (which i havent used for a few weeks) maybe water remnants or whatever in pump / hose from last time...

any ideas anyone...

Thanks
Paul

might have been something in the barrel was it clean.

might have been something in the barrel was it clean.

0007ppm isn't too much of a worry, you'll still get a good clean with that.

what colour is the hose, is it clear also what fittings are touching the water ?

Pure water eats into things, it loves cheap fittings if it is sat which it is, I would bet money its the fittings where the water is sat and creating the higher tds on first fill
