I got my first ICP test back and it looks like only 4 things really stand out.
Test was done by Fauna Marin ICP LAB
1. Iodine seems low .016 The range they give is .055 - .0655
Do you have any recommendation on what to dose to get this up?
2. Zinc reading is 15.7 the range they give is 3 - 8
3. Chrome reading is 9.89 the range they give is .05 - 2.3
4. Aluminum reading is 46.1 the range they give is 5 - 30
Not sure how bad this is, I would think any heavy metals are bad, but I am not sure if I am really off the scale.
Will running carbon remove the heavy metals? If not, what would you recommend?
As for the source I do have a tube clamp that is about 4 inches above the water in the return box. Maybe that is what is causing that, I have a plastic clamp I can replace it with. I will continue to look for other things that might be causing that reading. The Chrome is the one that has me stumpped. I would not think too many things would have high chrome it seems like it is the highest reading.
Thank you for any feedback you have.
