I got my test results back today. 1st one is from triton Lab from about 6 weeks ago, The 2nd one is one from CoralVue, and is in PPB. I just need help deciphering it as I have no clue. I will also include the RO sample so I can get help with that as well. 2nd test results.jpeg

I feel that the Chlorine level is way to high. I also feel that the Cl is coming from when I wash my filter socks in the wash...

Sodium chloride! Your salt.:cool:

Looks like your RO has PO4 as well! Need to look at replacing filters.

Nothing jumps out at me as a concern, although I do not know if the values are accurate.

It's unusual to see any lead reported, but the values are pretty low.

Randy,

you don’t think the Chlorine level could be causing any issues?

It's not chlorine as you think it, which is a Cl2. It's chloride, Cl- the naturally most abundant ion in seawater. It is a little elevated over its usual 19,400 ppm at 35 ppt salinity, but I do not consider it any concern.
