we did not do the amonium or Phosphate test and I excluded the results for the Disolved Oxygen and pH tests because we think the salinity of the lake combined with the fact that there are probably disolved metals in the water from a derilict car that sits beneath the surface of the lake is interfearing with our tests. because of this we have so little confidence in these results we do not want to continue to upload them to the water watch website.
