Euclid, OH tap water
Supplied by Cleveland Water. Here's what its water means for your fish.
Disinfectant
Chlorine
Your water is treated with chlorine. It slowly gases off from standing water, and any water conditioner removes it.
Safety for fish and shrimp
Nitrite (NO₂)
Not detected (Low)
Not detected in testing, so any nitrite in your tank comes from the tank itself.
From EPA monitoring data (2012–2015).
Nitrate (NO₃)
1.7–5 ppm (Low)
Typical 1.9 ppm
Low, so water changes lower your tank's nitrate well.
Published by your utility: Cleveland Water's 2025 water quality report.
Copper at home taps (first draw)
0.06 ppm (Low)
The 90th percentile of first-draw samples from homes: water that sat in household pipes for at least six hours.
Low. Water that sits in household pipes overnight can carry more than this.

Chlorine or chloramine at the tap
