RO machine waste of money if I already have 80ppm tap?

[mikeross]

I'm blessed to be on city water that comes out of the tap @80ppm. I know the city treats with chlorine and not chloramine.

I assume I'm wasting my money and tons of water installing a RO machine? I also need lots of water so were talking lots of waste.

I'm thinking of just installing a Hydrologic Big Boy filter with a filter for Chlorine and a filter for sediment.

Any noticeable benefit trying to filter down the PPM even more than 80ppm?

Yes waste of money 80ppm is something most wish they had. You may need to add a buffer if in hydro. In terms of chlorine/chloramphenicol 4ppm is max allowed and most will be 1-2ppm.

Using a good quality activated carbon fikter with decent dwell time will remove them both.

Also ascorbic acid or seachem prime will do the job if your concerned. Depending on media and needs you may not even wat to worry about it.

Hey bud... what do you mean by "add a buffer"? Are you referring to trace elements?
