Situation with hard water, about 600ppm before and after water softener. It's high in iron and calcium which is understood to be detrimental to the roots' ability to absorb nutrients.
I had been simply purchasing filtered water at store, however that option suddenly not available. Added a reverse osmosis system, it is suppose to remove calcium. The water tastes much better, but the PPM still in the upper 500's.
When adding nutrients, is 600 the floor and I can add another 1200-1500 of nutrients after it has been filtered, or would 1500 be max overall?
Should RO filter be connected BEFORE the water softener? Seems like obvious move, but not sure.
