ATI water analysis results are in.....thoughts?

[Kan9]

So got my ATI tank water and RODI water analysis results back. Looking for recommendations. In tank water there is low salinity (refractometer has been calibrated since), high sulfur, low molybdenum (maybe due to low salinity), and high tin....Any thoughts on how to find cause of these out of line parameters? RODI water high in silicon, I assume this is basically high silicates and have a silica removing cartridge to install. Any opinions out there?

You have the report? What actual numbers?

Low molybdenum, like many trace elements, is often low. Manganese and iron will often be undetected if not dosed.

Sulfate is a major component of salt mixes, and the sulfur likely just reflects what is in your mix, unless you are using very large amounts of Epsom salt to boost magnesium.

Silicate is not any concern unless you have a diatom problem. I dosed it regularly.

Tin can be elevated and still not be an issue, but it depends on the value.

Thanks for jumping in and responding! I tried to copy and past the results but it was too many characters for R2R. Heres some screen shots of the results. 1st 3 are of the tank and last shot (last minor elements list) is the RODI water. and...I DO have a diatom problem which is what caused me to

do the analysis in the 1st place. Would love additional feedback!
