Anyone in calgary who can test my water for magnesium? Live in abbeydale.

Ever since I got my salifert magnesium test kit, it's showing SUPER high ppm magnesium. I have to fill the syringe twice to get it to titrate.

It reads a whopping 1830ppm magnesium! And it hasn't gone down at all since. I never dosed it at any point. The bottle of magnesium solution's still sealed.

120 gallon display, 15 gallons of sump water.

calcium is 440ppm (aquarium pharmeceuticals), pH 8.3 (calibrated monitor 2 weeks ago). 1.025 specific gravity (from swing needle hydrometer).

I drip kalkwasser. I fill a 4L milk jug with RO/DI water, add 1 tsp powdered kalk, and drip it slowly so the one jug lasts 2 days.

Is there anyone in calgary who I can bring my water to in order to test it against their own kit? I want to know if it's my kit, or my water. Hopefully it's not my water.

I live in abbeydale (N/SE, ~68 St. & 16th Ave). I don't drive, so prefferably somone who lives real close to a train station.
