I'm starting to realize my water at home from the tap isn't great. I live in a city and have looked up specs on it, and they use chlorine and my PPM's straight out of the faucet sit somewhere around 350. I, of course, pH my water and let it sit 24 hours before using to de-chlorinate.
I have a few water questions though:
1. Is there a good way to lower ppm other than buying distilled water or an RO system? ppm's do go down once I pH, but they're still not great.
2. Do you follow the same rules for your humidifier water? pH/de-chlorinate? I haven't been, and I'm wondering if this is something crucial.
3. I have been giving them pH-ed/de-chlorinated tap water at this point. If I switch it up and start giving them distilled, or some sort of better ppm water, will they suffer? I know it's important to note the soil ppm during that time, but anything else I should think about?
Thanks!
