    RO set up

    Installed a really good Reverse Osmosis system and a 14 gallon tank. Soooooo much better than buying distilled and precious RO’s I’ve had. Love it. Went with a 14 gallon tank so I won’t run out. Working great! If you need help with getting a water system, I can point you in the right direction.

    Very high EC tap water, what should I do?

    Hello OldMedUser, Awesome, I am glad to help. I am sure the Cat is happy too! lol. I would say on getting down to 2 ppm from having bad feed water, they are running back through. RO is typically a 90% reduction. So that means he is getting the water down to 20 ppm and running back through again...

    Very high EC tap water, what should I do?

    Also, get a TDS meter, you should get 90% out of an RO. So if you are at 400 ppm tds, you should be at 40 ppm after the RO system. The calcite is adding calcium to raise PH so it will add to this. Test at the grow room area to make sure.

    I need to kill chloramines

    Also, if you are getting a reading from a water test or city water report on what the hardness is, if it is not listed in gpg (grains per gallon) it will be in ppm ( parts per million) or mg/l (milligrams per liter). If it is listed in ppm or mg/l they way to convert it to gpg is to divide by...
