Yoo what up fellow mainers, dont think theres many folks on here but hopefully someone can help chime in. So just moved back east from the west, out there i was in a aarea with some fo the best tap water in the country. Out in maine the water isnt as great, was just seeing if anyone from the kittery/eliot/berwick area has used tap water for there grow? Obviously i was planning on making a rez, and running a couple airstones to gas off any chlorine, but i know the water around here can run hard. Heres the Kittery water report for 2013, anyone has any suggestions, or is getting a RO system actually make a huge diff, and how much do those run?

the first reading is the maximum levels found over 2013, and the second reading is the SMCL which is the highest levels one can have in drinkable tap water
