Thanks for all the replies... what I'm curious about is how to figure out what's in the water? Do you just go to government site and trust thier word or is there an at home test or something?

Think for now I'll do the mixing to lower ec. Thanks everyone
If your water is supplied by a town/city you should be able to either see their water analysis reports online or call for a free copy to be emailed to you.

I've been buying RO water for 20 years because our tap water comes from a dugout on my property and is unfit to drink. 400+ ppm and pH 8+. Need to get off my ass and install the RO gear I bought 6 months ago now that it's gone up to $4/5gal jug.

:peace:

Proven over time. Cheap. Effective as hell and easily recharged. You can use food grade blue plastic barrels with a removable lid. With the locking ring retained and reused. Ask restaurants about pickle barrels.

Nice set up. Got a link to that bucket and what is that a float stop gauge for the ro water? How did you set this up looks very nice
Before floats, I flooded by garage a few times. lol
I have heard of floats failing - so far I have not had any problems. Work great.

I use a 35 gallon tote and a toilet bowl float switch. Works like a charm.

Edit: it was a brand new float. Fresh from the package. Never used before. Lol.

That sounds like a crazy process... got any docs for easy setups? I'm doing hydro. I'm growing in coco and straight in water
What's crazy about a filter? I just have the filter on the side of the furnace, the condensate discharge from the furnace goes through the filter and drips into a bucket. I get something like 2-6 gallons per day depending on how much the furnace runs. I use it mostly for my humidifiers.
