"Paul" wrote in message news  Around 40-ppms........Thanks That is a little low, but not dangerlously so. If it were me, I'd just add some limestone rocks to the pond and leave it at that. I have a limestone waterfall, and my general hardness stays right at 80 mg/L, which is normal for freshwater ponds. "George" wrote in message news:6_xle.10147$Is4.5411@attbi_s21...
