Ivanhoe, CA tap water
Supplied by Ivanhoe Public Utility Dist. Here's what its water means for your fish.
Disinfectant
Not confirmed
We couldn't confirm how your water is disinfected. US utilities use chlorine or chloramine, and chloramine doesn't gas off when water sits out.
Safety for fish and shrimp
Nitrate (NO₃)
17–62 ppm (High)
Typical 34 ppm
High for tap water. Water changes can't take your tank's nitrate below this level.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
Copper at home taps
0.07 ppm (Low)
Low. Water that sits in household pipes overnight can carry more than this.
From California Water Board lab results (2024).
Water chemistry
General hardness
101–330 ppm
Typical 188 ppm
Moderately hard. Great for livebearers, and most community fish adapt.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
Carbonate hardness (alkalinity)
110–280 ppm
Typical 173 ppm
Strong buffering. pH stays steady and hard to lower without RO water.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
pH
7.6–8
Typical 7.9
Most community fish do well here. Stable water matters more than the exact number.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
Total dissolved solids
195–490 ppm
Typical 345 ppm
A rough measure of everything dissolved in the water. RO water reads near 0, so TDS is a quick way to compare waters.
