So where do i buy it. I just bought a gallon of some stuff called Nursery, added nutes (not the problem), and the Ph is so low it's off the scale. Bright yellow. It said on the bottle it was "processed by steam distillation." What should I be looking for if not that?

it is just normal drinking water. found at any grocery store in the water section.

if it is a balanced ph you r looking for, it is still no gaurantee. tap water is pretty easy and i have had no problems.

is that why your looking for it?

Same for me I use water out of the tap that has sat for a day. Sometimes I bubble it up with a fish tank pump to keep it moving around.

lol you guys are funny. Thanks. And ya it is for Ph. But just now I tested the water from my brita and it looks good (lower than the 6.8 I was using before), so I used that for now. But I'm def gonna try the hot water thing, too. I heard that hot tap water can have all kinds of rust and stuff from the pipes. Should I be worried?

I installed a garden hose hookup in my kitchen to which I connect a Mr Clean spotfree rinse gun. My water is between 0 and 10 ppm and cheap as hell. Beats buying jugs and having to dispose of them.

depends on how old your pipes are, etc... my water is 5.6 ppm is good, i am lucky i guess, either way i got all the fixes if it wasn't.
