    The advice you was given on you diary about mixing bottles water with your water is spot on mate, wish I had done it sooner myself.

    I use to have hard water with my deep well. I put down A shallow well, and water is 5.8PH as oppose to the deep water, being 7.3PH

    I'm from the UK, the thought of "wells" I'm visualizing are something that Jack and Jill should not have been fetching pails of water from

    Just found out a neighbour has a 3-Stage Dechlorinator. Would this possibly help or no use?

    You'd have to go over and check with your EC meter.

    I'll see if I can get the missus to get a sample - mind it may raise some questions as to why I'll be needing loads haha, but I do have some pet lizards, so having RO/cleaner water would help for these too really......so I'm trying to justify/work on how to get an RO in

    Out of curiosity with a 3-4 plant setup - how many litres of water will I likely end up using each day?

    Does anyone know if it an RO system would need to be 4 stage, or is a 3 stage system fine too?
