Maybe test water for hydrogen sulfide or sulfuric gas basically. And usually phosphates are expressed in ppm so I'm not familiar with mg/l. But does seem little high.


Aluminum sulfate is a very safe chemical, and should always be applied at a rate of 2:1 on alum:hydrated lime to keep the pH balanced
