Zebulon, NC tap water

Part of Zebulon is supplied by Lindsey Point S/D. Here's what its water means for your fish.

Disinfectant

Chlorine

Utility water here 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 (2019).

Nitrate (NO₃)

Not detected (Low)

Not detected in testing, so water changes lower your tank's nitrate well.

From EPA monitoring data (2012–2019).

Water chemistry

General hardness

Area estimate

17–366 ppm

Typical 60 ppm

Soft. Good for tetras, rasboras and most shrimp. Livebearers, snails and African cichlids prefer harder water.

Area estimate from nearby wells: USGS well samples in your county (2001–2019).

Carbonate hardness (alkalinity)

Area estimate

7–99 ppm

Area estimate from nearby wells: USGS well samples in your county (2001–2019).

pH

Total dissolved solids

Area estimate

22–628 ppm

Typical 107 ppm

A rough measure of everything dissolved in the water. RO water reads near 0, so TDS is a quick way to compare waters.
