R/O WATER Is it really that bad?

I have been diligently trying to find a solution to not giving up my r/o water for my ladies. My issue was I couldn't find a trace mineral additive that would incorporate large amounts of water like say 5-10 gallons at at a time locally here. First try was with this just for our drinking water r/o, works fine but not large enough for my liking.sun006-sunwarrior-liquid-light-fulvic-acid.jpg[h=1]Sunwarrior Liquid Light - Fulvic Acid Mineral Complex[/h]Sunwarrior's Liquid Light comes from an ancient petrified plant deposit in rural part of Utah. It is a plant based fulvic acid mineral complex created by nature and cold process extracted into a liquid solution that is the strongest natural chelating agent within living structures. A pure extraction with no pH or chemical modification.
In nature, Liquid Light provides some of the major and trace elements of nutrition but plays a role much more important than that. It aids in the absorption and assimilation of all other nutrients it comes in contact with through the chelation process.
Liquid Light is a powerful natural electrolyte contributing to both electrical and chemical balance within the cell. It contains all of the trace elements found in living systems. Its a super transporter carrying nutrients to the cells.
Liquid Light Fulvic Acid Benefits:
• Helps neutralize toxins and pollutants from the body. Helps remove toxins in the body.
• It is nature's most powerful heavy metal chelator of heavy metals.
• Delivers essential minerals while also eliminating toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury.
• Supports enzyme reactions thus improves digestion and assimilation.
• It is nature’s finest electrolytes.
• Neutralizes acidity in the body.
• Increases cell permeability.
• Increases endurance and stamina.
• Improves digestion.
• Increases potency of food supplements and improves absorption of vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients.
• Gives a sense of well being (because of the mineral nourishment of the cells).
Take with other supplements to enhance utilization. Take before and after workouts. Goes great in smoothies, juice or water.
Directions: Take 1/2 capful morning and evening or as needed. May be mixed with water or juice.
[HR][/HR][h=3]Sunwarrior, the company[/h]Sunwarrior was born on a warm Arizona evening during the Sedona Raw Spirit Festival. Two different men with different dreams met with one desire, to create a company and a product that benefit mankind and the planet mankind occupies.
Nick Stern began juicing in his teens, earning him the nickname “NatureBoy” early on. In his twenties he competed as a body builder and played semi-pro sports. At the time, being an athlete meant consuming massive amounts of animal products and by-products. After his competitive career ended, his body felt toxic, racked with aches and pain. He turned back to a plant-based diet, the pain bled away, and Nick felt a renewed sense of wellness.
Denley Fowlke received his first true call to action when he became a father of twin girls just beginning their lives with serious, life-threatening conditions. He and his wife, Jan, embarked on a quest for the knowledge to save their children. Denley learned that many answers to health issues could be found in nutrition and nature. His daughters recovered, but his quest never ended.
The two men combined their dreams, their savvy business personalities, and their environmental consciousness to create Sunwarrior, a company committed to making the best plant-based products while elevating humanity and preserving the planet.
Sunwarrior is a premier all natural company, dedicated to providing the best raw, plant-based protein powders. Sunwarrior creates smooth, great tasting vegan protein powder and vegetarian protein powder for delicious shakes and smoothies, perfect for anyone and any lifestyle, not just vegans.
All Sunwarrior proteins are gluten free protein powders and are non-GMO. They are also clean and completely free of solvents, radiation, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, soy, yeast, wheat, or added sugars.
Plants provide some of the best concentrated raw vegan nutrition. Sunwarrior creates powerful, raw, vegetarian and vegan supplements, mineral complexes, immune boosters, and superfood ormus greens, rich in vitamins and antioxidants for anyone wanting to amplify health and fitness.
That's there story I then wanted to see whats available for myself for other options found this. Futurebiotics-Advanced-Colloidal-Trace-Minerals-049479002597.jpg

Have you ever heard of Hydro-Logic charcoal water filters? Its supposed to take out all the bad chloromide/chlorine while leaving all the good stuff in. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with you wanting to keep your current setup, but just something to consider.

RO is no problem at all if you are working with good soil. No need for any of those additives you listed, although they probably won't hurt your plants (only your wallet...).

If you want to keep most of your tap water minerals but remove chlorine and chloramines, look into a Small Boy filter with the upgraded catalytic carbon.

I have started with R/O water everytime at home. not sure why anyone would think it is "bad". Trace minerals are a part of the nutrients I use. Starting with no salts and no chlorine/bromine, no bacteria, and no fungus is not a bad thing in any shape or fashion IMO (Especially with organics). The only bad thing about R/O is quantity of water waste required to create it. The highest end R/o units still throw a gallon of water in the garbage for every gallon they create.
 
Some nutrients do not put enough Calcium in their base nutrients because they anticipate you will have some Ca present in your source water. Nutrients such as CANNA need to have a Cal-MAg added to them if you are mixing the nutes into RO water.

FTW! An outside field only gets rain (RO), but the soil minerals dissolve and provide what's needed. So simpler to simply add some rock powders to the starting soil as Spice mentioned. Then RO your heart out. That's what I've done and will do in my next place.

yea but as a rule of thumb dont use cheap nutes from greedy companies, if they are "counting on" you having calcium in your water then i hope they have studied the cal/mag levels of your city and sold you nutes accordingly cause everyones city varies greatly in ppm and what elements make up that ppm

holyshit have my eyes been opened up! really appreciative of this knowledgebase folks! I prob should look into the charcoal filter system period end of story because 1. totally right on the wallet, which I cannot afford tbh, and in the long run I can throw a hella ton of gallons through a filter better.

Organic material binds to chloramine. So a little compost or molasses will neutralize the threat. Just another option.
