Brilliant thanks guys
At .8 you want a 5 stage r.o system bud .
Thats what i have . Im a Plumber though and get huge discounts on these things at my wholesaler . A good system like mine .my cost was 500$ though . Give 2.2 u.s gallons per hour .
Those simple inline filters wont cut it . You need a membrane to filter out the small elements . General filters wont do it so save your cash
Are you in a well or city water . Maybe some better options ....

0.8 background EC is really high!
The single stage filters effectiveness will depend on your water supply.
My last house had high EC water that was 0.0 EC after passing through a single stage filter. This is large particle minerals in the water being fully removed.
My new house has 0.4 EC tap and comes out 0.3 EC from a single stage filter. This is small particle minerals which are not being filtered in a simple single stage filter. Despite the filtration I still have calcium toxicity.
Large particle minerals cannot be used by the plant and cause mineral buildup in the medium and eventually mineral lockout.
Small particle minerals can be absorbed by the roots but we don't have any control on how much minerals we are giving the plants.
This is why I am a big supporter of growing with RO water. RO Water is inert. It has no minerals and the PH cannot be measured. It will bind to whatever PH it is introduced to. This is why RO water is great for flushing but not great for drinking. RO water has been shown to leach the minerals from humans over time.
When growing with RO you need to add all the minerals needed for growing. While this requires a full line of nutes, it gives you total control of what you put into the plant.
I just finished installing the RO filter in my new house. No more rust spots from here on out.
Last thought on water. Most modern chlorine and chloramine will not evaporate when left out and will not be filtered with a single stage filter despite the claims all over the web. Old style chlorine would evaporate but that was years ago. Chlorine and chloramine are both reported to interfere with the structure of most bottled nutes. The chlorine in most tap water is low enough to be safe for plants on it's own but when mixed with nutes it breaks the nute binders which prevents the nutes from mixing properly and being absorbed by the roots. RO filtration or distillation both remove the chlorine and chloramine effectively.
Inert water fully amended is the best way to grow imo. Options are RO or Distallation.

Overwhelmed with the responses I'm on city water which I now know is a bit crap
