How does this water look to you?
    #676575 - 06/30/13 02:19 AM (11 years, 9 months ago)

After spending a fuckload on storebought distilled water for one plant's entire grow, I'm looking to cheaper sources...

I've read that under 50ppm total contaminants is suitable for growing our favorite plant, but I just wanted to run these quality sheets by everyone to see if it checks out alright. (It's from a neighboring town where I have some family. The water where I live is fucking dangerous.)




To untrained eyes, it looks like it could work out fine. Am I missing something?

It's not an reverse osmosis unit. It's just a carbon filter system for water - like this:


They work by filtering out molecules that are above a certain size. They're used in Africa to filter drinking water from sewage basically, so I wouldn't be surprised if it might solve your issue with your tap water - you might even be able to drink it.

You can read more about how they work here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_filter

The downside is, they do not remove nitrates or metals at all.
