Sudden reduction in alkalinity

[danwlx]

Hi all,

Just testing my water prior to brewing and my normal alkalinity figure had suddenly halved. Looking at local water engineering works, there is nothing in the area.

Does anyone else experience such changes? It throws my other figures into doubt, should I halve my planned salt addition (just calcium chloride in this case)?

Cheers
Dan

Yes it's normal . . .give the amount of rain we have had recently . . .it should be expected.. . .Keep your salt addition as planned
