What on earth are they doing putting all that NH4 and PO4 in the tap?
I'd be pissed off. I have a water treatment operators' license though....... 
Well, this is good news as far confirmation.
So dosing with the tap (please, use the RO for drinking and cooking , washing etc is fine, never give such foul water to kids/infants!):
K2SO4
GH booster(mostly K2SO4)
Dose about 1/2 the KNO3 after water change, then normal on the 3rd and 5th day after the water change.
Traces etc.
That's some nasty tap water.

Ya, it's actually well over American standards, however there is no legislation here concerning NH4. They use some voodoo equation to justify the NH4 and use chloramines as the culprit, which it is, but there is no recourse for the high NH4.
At any rate, I do drink RO but cook with tap. Funny thing is I live in a city of nearly a million folks, one would think the water standards would be a little higher.....
