Hello everyone that resides in IL or the greater Chicagoland area. I just tested my kH and gH out of the tap today when I got home from work with my first test kit. The results that I came up with are as follows:

kH= 6
gH= 9

I was just wondering if my testing is accurate or I am testing incorrectly. I live in the city of Chicago and was wondering if the results are consistant with anybody else's tests. I guess one thing I left out was the pH from the tap, and the kH and gH from the aquarium. I'll test those tomorrow after work.

Thanks

chicagoland water is usually hard.

the gh and kh it can varies every mile or even every meter. different water can occur from different pluming, water filter, city filter...etc

Good luck
