Cycling, How Am I Doing?

If your nitrates in municipal water is that high, YOU shouldn't be drinking it! let them come round and test your water as the results they give are for the water tested at the source i.e. before distribution.

Investing in an RO system will help you save money as high nitrate levels cause gastro problems in humans.....
Just keep in mind that an RO system costs money to use, as it consumes about 4 litres of water to produce 1 litre of RO water. You also need to change the filters and the mineralizer regularly as not doing this will be even more fatal than high nitrates in municipal water

I understood I can fit one to an outside tap. Is that fairly easy? I presume it doesn't stay on the tap 24/7? What about matching water temps?

I'm not sure about putting one on a tap, but temperature matching would be fairly easy. If the tap it goes on isn't adjustable, you could just take some of the water and heat it on the stove then add to the rest of the water until you get the right temp.
