i am trying to get some opinions on whats the best water to use on my plants. i heard that tab water is good if u boil it first to kill the cholrine? any advice thanks..
 
you could boil it than let it cool to room temp, or if your water isn't too "hard" you could just let the water sit out uncapped for a few days to let the chlorine evaporate. :leaf:

or buy a cheap distiller 100$ or collect rain water or get a ro system 250$ + labor or diy
 
boiling makes the chlorine evaporate faster. Do you live in the city? if you do, check the PPM of your tap water before you use it...
 
Get a TDS/PPM meter first, and see what you're working with. I got lucky and have tap water with only 35 PPM, which is next to nothing.(also a PH of 6.8) If your water is over a certain 'hardness'(PPM) you won't be able to use it, even if you let it sit out for a month.lol

Hmm....I guess I should shut my mouth and let the guys who deal with this shit, help you deal with this shit? :lol:
 
And I have never had a problem. My ppm for my water is around 160 and the ph straight from the tap varies from 7.0 to 8.0

when I re-fill my 125 gallon nute tank or when I top it off I run straight from the hose to the tank. I then use some a chlorine remover that is used in aquariums and let it circulate in the tank for about 30 mins and then I add my nutes and then balance the ph. This has worked for me for the past 12 months with no problems.
