I’m waiting for a PH kit in the mail and i have a five gallon bucket of tap water with an air stone open lid for 24 hours but PH is still high. Please chime in I’m using soil that already has nutrients it just needs water. Please help
    Great value at Walmart, it’s purified, get calmag, 1tsp/gal. I use it Every water, also it supplements the purified water. It has no minerals in it😊✌️

    Yes r.o takes everything out completly . Well what isnt ionized i should say . All minerals cor most part arent ionised so it getz filtered through the membrane .

    That said . It also filters out the junk the city puts in like chlorine . Sodium etc .

    Bottled water can be high in certain things . And low in others dependijg on the brand and location its processed at . At least with an r.o you know what your gettin

    It is the worst in the big cities where we have water delivery systems a hundred years old. Plus once it is out of the supply line and into the pipes of a 100 year old building it gets even worse.

    Is Trump doing anything about this? Thought he was improving infrastructure

    We have lead pipes occasionally but if the ppms are bad the water authority has to change them

    Only so much guy can do . But water quality is a municipal/state issue .not federal

    In canada there are federal guidlines . But provincial guidlines are much more stringent then federal . Ontario has gone bezerk ffs .

    Lol. You think Trump wants to have to change all the pipes in his old buildings. If he had his way asbestos would still be allowed in new construction because its cheap.
