Soil For Thought

A lot of RO units advertise the ability to filter water at higher concentrations of TDS without significant degradation of the RO membrane filter system. Which RO manufacture's unit are you using? I may give an RO unit a try. Bottled water is expensive.

I got a "7 Stage 150 gpd RO+DI+UV Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System - Aquarium" from ebay. It's overkill for the garden having DI and UV. I wouldn't buy into that again. h20splash is the company there and they have an infinite combination of systems. I'd keep it simple next time. This one adds minerals I believe and i really don't want that. I'm waiting for them to wane away. Actually when the membrane needs replacement I'm going to see if I can remove the minerals when it's apart.

I'm on well water Charlie at over 400ppm and also we soften it and it's still around 400ppm. I've used a ro filter for going on 2 years with no issue for my tent grows.

2 carbon filters and a ro filter will clean up any water , 200 bucks on amaz, it wont remove bacteria but every thing else will be removed to a very low ppm period !

That is what I am finding looking around the net. A lot of RO units want to put minerals back in the water after processing. I do not want that. I will keep looking. Thank you kindly for the advise.

What water psi are you running your system at and what is the recommended water intake psi for your unit?

60 psi is great

I don't know. It's whatever the well setup is set for. It's not high like city pressure.
