Water check question??

[hookedonfish]

Hi again sorry for bugging you guys too much but I just checked my water using the 5 in 1 test strips and it shows that my nitrate and nitrite is at 0, total hardness is very hard at 425, total alkalinity is 180, and pH is at 7.6-8.0. Just wondering if my water is Ok. Is the hardness of the water to high? I am clueless about the results.. any input would help thanks much!

dont rely on those strips.. they are not very accuate.. get a test kit for each one. ..your ph is kinda low..

pH seems low, but from what everyone's told me the strip tests are all pretty questionable.

Test strip is like your car with idiot lights instead of gages.
