Also with Ro units u can get A 50' of ro line for line going in and place in A bucket filled with water, drop A aquarium heater in and keep at aroun 87 deg that will spead it up.... (I am into saltwater fish tank and that is A trick we use)... Als RO are not cheap to run, If u are on A well they are constantly turning the pump on! They waste over 90% of the water comming in but it is nice to have pure water on demand. When u do it go and get A 35 gallon trash can from hom depot and also a float valve so u don't have to worry about turning it on and off! I have posted pics of 1 of my tub's 1 is for my tank and 1 is for my plant's.... If U do A RO unit get 1 with A built in TDS meter..
That's really high bro! Anything over 200 should be filtered through an RO machine first.
Don't worry though, It's probably just calcium in the water. Do you end up with a lot of white deposits on your shower head? That's Calcium.
What you want to flush is the N, K and P. Try increasing your dose of Clearex and run it for and extra day or two. 150ml is the minimum recommended dose. 450ml is max.
If you have the cash go buy an RO machine at Home DePot. The bigger ones are faster but not better. Smaller ones are fairly cheap.
With clean water you should see an improvement in growth since you will be adding 500 PPM of nutrients (N,K,P) instead of 500 PPM of Calcium (hard water).
One solution is to stop using CalMag in your nute formula. You don't need it. Then just save your water from the dehumidifier for your flush. The dehumidifier water is clean and perfect for flushing. I always drain my dehumidifier into the flushing res (if I have one going).
