No slam and thank you for the detailed answer. I have seen the water quality sheet and reason for my questions/explanations. We run a very similar test. Most folks agree hardness and alkalnity levels should be above 20 ppm. I think this is the same as what you want to be above 120 ppm. If not then how in the world can we compare? So why so high?

Ok, so you suggest the 5 bags to raise 0-51 so if you want 120 from most ponds in GA starting at 10 or less you need to add 10 bags about right? This is (old price list) $120 for CalPlus (hydrated lime, right) and $150 for bufferin or $270 plus shipping for 1 acre pond in example. This is not too bad but how long will it last will normal rainfall/excahnge rate?

Hey Deb you have been very honest so far so I expect another one. I hope folks are reading this, many times stick to quesions thread. thanks for your time and hope you understand my concern with these products.
