Troubles with Aging

[Teshi]

This is a pic of my water from a brute aging barrel today, with a UV sterilizer in it. I am done aging my water until I can figure out what is going on!

this has probably already been asked.......have you had a *complete* analysis done of your water?
(sorry if you've posted this, I'm exhausted and just popped in my head)

+1 get that. then if they don't see what the issue is send a copy here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...8kfiy1FNqx0qLQ with a note

No I haven't. Who does them?

So the UV didn't work?

[Teshi]

Nope
I really wish I knew what was going on with the aging issue. Right from the tap the water is clear after the micro bubbles settle. I wouldn't worry about aging the water but there is over a point with the pH swings from tap to aged. That's the worst I've seen the water so far.

contact your local health dept they will guide you. try the bleach too.

Regarding micro bubbles, I read that splashing the water into the tank Helps remove them so I use my kitchen faucet sprayer to fill my holding tub....about 12 inches above the water, since starting this practice my water appears clearer.

I doubt it's micro bubbles or excess calcium. calcium wouldn't make the water cloudy and 02 goes away in short time. many things happen when water and 02 meet. depends on whats in the water reacting to 02.
