Grow Mediums My water comes out of the tap at ph 9.1 and 200 ppm... Can I do a DWC grow with this water???

RO'd minimum, distilled is better. With typical RO home unit, it produces about 2.5 gallons a day, so must capture late every day, and store, or get separate one just for grow. Ours is 265 PPM and 7.6, and I will not drink it. RO's it 16 PPM and 5.8 PH.

RO'd minimum is my opinion, from experience. It is open to debate. Have had numerous water problems, and using RO'd water, with great fertilizer, and organic tea, water has been perfect.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi
I live in a country Where the Ground Water is the purest Ground Water in the World. No ro filters. no buying water from the store.
And i use a filter "brita like filter" not because the water is bad 320 ppm tap Water. But because my ph is stable using the filter. U Can always find a solution to a nute problem.. But fixing ph problems everyday.... Not funny.
Try testing your Water around 5:00 to 7:00 pm and se if ppm and ph is the same.
200 ppm tap water not a problem....but 9.1 ph that might be a problem...
I use 1/2 tap Water 1/2 filter Water. About 220 ppm 6.8 ph and hard Water nute. In Hydro. With only small normal problems..cal mag def....
Peace.
