Ok, so I'm trying to fill in my water profile here, and I'm running into an issue.

The water report just lists Alkalinity (67 mg/l) and Hardness (116 mg/l).
I'm confused about what to put into the alkalinity field and which measurement to use (bicarbonate HCO3 or hardness CaCO3).
The water report is attached if that helps any.
Thanks!

Agreed. Just go with the hardness as CaCO3.
 
I really hope the word anal in that file name is just short for analysis

You apparently have never dealt with he Baltimore city dept. of public works. We've been trying to pay a water bill for months, but it's under the previous house owners name. Sent several requests to get it changed, nothing back
 
Bru N Water has a Alkalinity conversion calculator which is what I use for estimating carbonate and bicarbonate.
