Urm are you guys talking about 0.3mg/l and 0.5mg/l ?

My test kits seem to mesure it like that if I remember rightly.. perhaps I'm wrong. If your 0.30mg/l is the lowest point on your scale for your kit then it counted as <0.30mg so in fact you could have only a trace amount but the kits are not sensative enough to go below that .3mg/l level.

Hey i live in highworth and mines 50mg/l!! what did you say it was in swindon??

Edit 50mg/is the same as 50ppm
