How is my tap water

I've got a ph of 9, my ec is .4 and ppm is 244 on the 0.7 setting, thanks everyone I'm a noob

It's very alkaline. You will definitely need to pH down before using.

unless your system is huge, either buy RO from a store or buy a RO unit. it makes growing in hydro so much easier if you know your water is not a problem.
as you get better at growing, slowly start using RO with your tap and see how it works.

I'd distilled water a good option

Honestly it could be wonderful drinking water, but that alkalinity will cause you headaches. I would grab an RO filter.

Treat it like RO water, use cal mag and such.
