Icp test results

[Elevated Ecosystems]

Just did an icp test and got some strange results I don’t dose any of the elements that are high except iodine every once in a while not sure how some of them are super high l, also on my Red Sea test kit nitrates are 5 and phosphates are .02 so that’s a big jump from what my tests are reading at, I did do the RO test as well which says zinc and silicates are high in my RO water but unsure how the other elements are high
Are any of these elements something to worry about?

Any metal parts in the ro? Zinc can be released from some plastics, but metals such as hose clamps, screws, etc can be a source of zinc.

The sulfate and strontium likely reflect your salt mix, unless some additive has been boosting them. I would mitt agonize over them, but what salt mix?

Looks like an IO result

I use instant ocean I’m wondering if the pump is leeching metal into the RO water it is an old pump
