I have it in my tap water with everything else. I use zero water filters and they are rated for removing chloramine in their 5-stage models. I get about 40 gals of filter water per filter. It was much cheaper than buying Pure water 5 gallon jugs. RV filters suck and are almost all made in china. I have a 32 cup water jug and it works out well for my few plants. RO systems are extremely expensive, The "affordable" RO systems don't last close at all too what the very expensive pro models. The zero filters are pricy but it removes a lot of other junk beside that chloramine, still have to PH my water but is a lot better than nasty city water.
True but almost all tap water has other contaminates like alcohols, diols, and most inorganics, such as lithium, sodium, iron, lead, arsenic, fluorine, and boric acid that it struggles with by itself. I rather have the water filtered for at much as I can, cannabis plants are extremely effective of pulling that nastiness into the product you plan to smoke into your body. Plus my ppm for tap water is almost 300 ppm its nice taking it close to zero as possible for more head room when feeding nutes to my plants. Also prevents me adding nasty ass chemicals to my soil. It also takes out other variables that WILL EFFECT THE PLANT.
If a person is going to buy US made high end RO filters are insanely expensive, I get 40 gallons per filter. If i go buy 5 gallon of pure water jugs because our tap water is horrible at 12 dollars a pop is over 100 bucks. I can get a filter for 15 buck each or if i buy a 4 pack for 10 bucks per. I can do 160-180 gallons for 40-55 plus tax bucks
Our water here is horrible our pH is 9.48
We have a lot of heavy metals and chemicals that i definitely dont want to be smoking in our water.
I used to haul sludge from a waste water treatment plant. Shit can grow some serious plants, but I'd never trust it in my garden . Did spread it on a 300 acre farm field. The ears of corn were twice their normal size, and had to drive the semi along side the combine that was constantly unloading, to keep the grain hopper from over filling every hundred feet of so.The purest water I ever drank was refined from sewage.
I was at an ASCE meeting and folks from the OC municipal water district who were members showed up with brown jugs of pure water for people to sample that originated from the sewage treatment plant. No taste, no smell, just pure water, and the condensation forming on the jugs made them look even more thirst quenching.
But because of the psychological "ick" factor, they don't deliver that pure water to people's taps. Instead, they pump it into the ground to stabilize the aquifer. Being situated by the ocean, when they take water out of the ground it causes salt water from the ocean to leech into the aquifer. So they create a pressurized zone to hold that salt water at bay. It's actually really cool science.
My water from the tap says 116ppm sits out for weeks and stays 116ppm yet the local water says they use chlorine in calling bullshit bc nothing evaporated out of it
Want to hear something funny? Some nerd will probably correct me on a technicality, but it works something like this: The chlorine either gasses off or the chlorine binds back to hydrogen atoms in the water and turns into sodium chloride (salt). So you still have 116 ppm, only it's salt instead of chlorine.
Introduce some electrolysis and you can even change it back to chlorine
