whats the dealio with well water? 200 ppm well water? can we run that or would that need to go thru a RO? Does well water require CalMag generally?
I know I could have it test but whats the general rule with well water?
Ahh probably not seems pretty high! Do ya know what’s in it? @Aqua Man ever seen well water that high ?My well water comes out zt 610 ppm, this should be pretty near acceptable right?
Yup.Ahh probably not seems pretty high! Do ya know what’s in it? @Aqua Man ever seen well water that high ?
Thanx makes sense most of the ppm will be sodium bad very badYup.
OP you cannot use softened water. It exchanges calcium and other .intervals with sodium and at those levels will kill your plants.
2 options are:
1. find the water source before the soften and test it. Possibly ok to use.
2. Use a reverse osmosis system either before or after the softener and I would suggest before.
Yeah some can and especially outdoor where you get rain. But sodium from a water softener is bad news.I use well water and a inline hose filter and it drops by 150PPM. From 200 to 70 usually. really depends on what kinda system your running, i know plenty of outdoor growers that do not even test their water. Hydro or coco that can be make or break for your plants. I have seen water used as high as 400PPM of unknown in large outdoor organic systems.
