RO?

[Airbone]

Wondering if Any of you use it.

I have a water store down the road and can get it at 25c a gallon.
I have been using spring water at 99c a gallon so far.

  In the long run you will like this. I have had mine for years. Makes 2 gal/hr. You are gonna use a lot of water and end up making lots of trips to the store for water. I use about 30 gal a week. Will pay for itself in a short time. You do have to change the filters but still worth the money and no trips to the sore.

Do you use cal mag on your watering with no feed?

 

[pute]

You actually have to use more cal/mag and other supplements. Your tap water comes with calcium and magnesium in it. The RO filter takes it all out. I use 7 1/2 mil/gal (1 1/2 tbl spoons).

keep in mind that your tap water is probably ok. Just let it sit for a day in an open container to let the chlorine dissipate.

 

[Airbone]

Ok thanks…
Definitely going to invest in that home filter. I’m using about 20 gal a week between my indoor and out.

Will pay for itself quick!

Thats all i use is Tap water that has set.

 

[Airbone]

Or that sounds even cheaper.

If I throw some air stones in it…. How long till I can use it?

 

[WeedHopper]

24hrs of setting or you can get the stuff you use for fish tanks that remove chlorine.

 

[Airbone]

Thanks guys

Run a few 5 gal buckets so you can stack 5 gals for the next day use
Have one bucket already from the day before, and then the second or third ready that night for the next us, Never run out that way. I use the air stone also.
I also have a whole house water filter that filter out chems ie: chlorine from my drinking water which is pipe into one part of house and no Cl to speak of. They are cheap .

My tap PH isn't good. Once through the RO, it's about 6.6 and works great.

I've got a thread around here somewhere asking about RO machines. I bought the one pute is showing. In my thread, I think it was Bigsur that suggested one I may try next, had an extra filter thingies and was only 148.00 on ebay

The RO machine is a giant time saver for me.

I used it in 12 but I heard 24 hr and it will have off gas any Chlorine but if your water has chloramine it will not off gas it is different.
Read this info may explain better

hmmmmm , I’ve heard that the water depts are using another type of chlorine that does NOT dissipate

but yeah , sometimes I use tap water and the plants get used to it..

but I sure would check the Ph and PM’s water n the tap water , better safe than sorry

Thank god my outside plants and grass dont mind tap water. No fking way i could water all my shit outside with RO Water. I have never used regular tap water on my Weed unless it had set for a few days but i haven't used RO water in yrs.

 

[Airbone]

I did finally get one. Got a six stage system. Ppm on tap water was around 350. This dropped it to 2 ppm.
