North Lakeport, CA tap water
Supplied by Lake County Csa 21 - North Lakeport. 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
Nitrate (NO₃)
Not detected (Low)
Not detected in testing, so water changes lower your tank's nitrate well.
From EPA monitoring data (2018).
Copper at home taps
0.13 ppm (Worth knowing)
