under 5 Minutes. There is a pretty simple way for you to get an idea of your water. You can do this with a simple plate mixer and a 1 liter beaker. You will need a turbidimeter.  If you have a turbidity cell it is easier.  Filter 1 liter of your water. Add  your water to the beaker and get it mixing measure the turbidity either by pulling  a sample or reading the output from the meter attached to the turbidity cell. Drop in 20ppm of o-PO4 per 1ppm of Al. It is an overdose but you are looking for a rate of reaction. At 80% of the maximum turbidity, you have your reaction time.  Kinetics at its finest. My email is scheurman.terry@appliedspecialties.com might be easier than messaging but  glad to help either way.
