Here ya go.
He just told me it doesn't take out fluoride though. But sunlight kills fluoride.
He also said amazon has ones that take it all out but they are about $60.
This one about $20
What is the PPM and PH of your tap water?

Badass! Thank you. At $60 it's worth a try. I'm in the middle of flower right now but I'll probably buy that thing and see what happens next run. Shit my cat would probably be very appreciative. All that fluoride is blocking her 3rd eye vision lol

So I use white vinegar to ph my water. My cat just absolutely loves to drink the runoff of my plants after I water.
She doesn't do it with nutes in there but vinegar phd water is apparently her jam lmao

Lmao at the cat enjoying it! The cat accidentally hits ur nutrients and wakes up a Lion
Can you explain the white vinegar PH? It is the first I've heard of it.

Yep. Vinegar is a major acid. When ph is too high I use vinegar to lower it.
My tap is 8.0 a half a capful per 1 gallon brings directly to a 6.5
Its a work with what you have type of deal. But I've always used it and never had an adverse side effect.

That's interesting.. I suppose way better than PH down. Could potentially deter pests too now I think about it....

Tap water - 36 ppm and 7.0 pH

Ok you should bottle it and sell it as grow water
Bull Run water here - just calibrated my pen - here is what I'm dealing with.........far cry from the 7.7 to 8.3 pH level my local provider claims they measure at the treatment plant.

And I thought my PH was out of wack! These treatment plants are SUS

your ph pen is not calibrated right if you just did it. Supposed to have a check mark

I would have not known this. Recalibrate that thang and give us an update!

my tap is like 7.2 with 15ppm. The water is so good here that there is more than one company bottling it and marketing it as Hawaiian water

Something's not right. What kind of pipes are in your residence? Is it on a concrete slab? If you have an issue with a pipe the concrete slab can leach stuff into the water raising the pH. But I have a hard time believing that your water is actually 9.4 pH from the tap.
We'll I kinda lied...I didn't just calibrate it because I dipped it in the calibration solution and it was reading 7.0. It was already calibrated.

The bluelab pens show a checkmark for 30 days after last calibration. You gotta use 7.0 AND 4.0 or 10.0 solution to make it reappear again.

My municipal tap is great on ppm and ec.
BUT...if fookin fluctuates randomly throughout the year. Both the ppm and ph.
40ppm
To
240ppm
So I quit that and went RO for consistency, and PH stability.

Very low ppm but ph is like 9. Having a well test with the county next month.

Thanks, I just assumed I was good if the meter was reading 7.0 when I put it in the 7.0 calibration solution. I was told when I bought it I didn't need to calibrate to the 4.0 since I wouldn't be measuring that low. Here is what I get after an actual calibration - still high but much better.
