Ok i wasnt going to buy gallon jugs from the store but 5 gallon jugs from the store. It cost $1.25 for 5 gallons or $12.50 for 50 gallons. 12.5 times 12 weeks of changing out water equals about $150.00 not bad if you ask me.

Hauling 60gal a week from the store? Pretty horrible...suspicious at least. And 150$ can get you 4 bags of ffof and pots....just sayin.
Btw, this is minimum, as 12 weeks is too short of a timespan for most strains; if you fck up even a little, they take a little longer; you will need to change it more then once a week if its 30gal to 6 huge plants.
If you let the water stand for a day, it's distiled. Much softer ppm.
Brita filter or any reverse osmosis filter will work better. I got a 3 gal one for 30$, for drinking. I THINK this makes ppm to 0 ph goes down as well

Letting your water sit for a while will let the chlorine and what ever else evaporate .In my set up i leave it sit like a week and my ph is like 6.4 out of the tap its 7.8 so check yours like that!

If I can buy i brita filter (which wouldn't be a problem) I can get water to where i need it and get it out of where its at using hoses. Ive done it before. Im a practicing electrician right now and ive seen all kinds of techniques done for everything, so Im not real worried. I can fix all those problems. Im going to run 2 dedicated circuits for my veg and flower room this weekend. I think two 20amp circuits should be fine. thats a total of 32 available amps to use. Ill take pictures so yall can admire my work. lol.
I pretty sure im going to build a false wall in my bedroom. That will happen in about a week.

My PH was exacty 7.8. Maybe ill go ahead and try that, let it set for a while. Can I add H2O2 to it for bacteria growth or whatever?

Okay, the 5-6 gallon bucket grows need to be fucked with CONSTANTLY, unless they have a reservoir that recirculates water, that why I always recommend RDWC instead of regular DWC.

That's not true. Distilled water is evaporated and then collected after condensing. Letting it sit just allow chlorine to evaporate.

I guess that's the wrong term...but lowers the ppm and ph so seems like the right fix to me if he got 7.8 water with 750ppm

Well its been 10 days since my update. Thought id let yall in.
Well i textured my new place yesterday and im going to slap on some paint tomorrow. I went out and bought some 1/2in pipe to make up some runs for a 220 12000BTU air conditioner i bought for my grow room (package deal of that air conditioner which has heat and 2 12g 60ft runs of wire for my N and G for $150) and im going to run 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits as well. The only part that sucks is my breaker box is maxed out so im going to have to buy a 100amp sub panel.
Good thing im an electrician and I have most of the stuff I need to do it.
hopefully by this wekkend I will have my seeds germinated and ready to get my grow journal going.
