> What am I missing?

pH?  Water condition?

Yes.  That's right.  I forgot pH (needs to be near neutral, may have to add acid or base, which is vinegar or citric acid, or ascorbic acid to drop pH, or baking soda to raise ph, for example).  And that wate may need to be degassed to get rid of chlorine or hydrogen sulfide.  Or humic or fulvic acid need to be added to exit chloramine.  

Good points.  Thank you!  It's the reason more than one mind working on a project is a good thing!
