I wish I had a 4th option for Reverse Osmosis.
OH wow! DO NOT INTRODUCE POND WATER WITH ALGAE IN IT TO YOUR GARDEN. Algae is not something we want to see growing with our weed. Some spend a lot of money to remove it from their reservoirs and soil. Why add it intentionally? Plus you have no idea what else is in that pond water. Well water needs to be tested before you use it as well. Some wells like mine are full of unwanted chemicals and organisms that affect taste and growth. I use RO water. It's the best! I paid about $60.00 after s/h for a portable 4 stage reverse osmosis system off ebay and spend $22.00 every other month on new pre and post filters. We use the water for drinking, cooking and growing. My tap/well water is over 400ppm and after I run it through the RO set up it runs between 2 and 4 PPM. Huge difference.
