And then when I get the distilled water I will change out system and ph it you think I will be all good baby baby.

It does depend a bit on the area you live in, but where i live, it's rated as very hard water, ph of 8+, my plants have been loving it for years (after ph'ing of course). It's my opinion that RO and distilled water is a bit of a gimmick.

Unless you have really hard water you probably don't need to use distiller or RO water. When you get your meters check what the ppm and pH of your water is. The salts in your tap water are mostly Ca and Mg so you don't need to use a cal/mag supplement.
