Look @my leaves - tap H20 @372ppm

[CAPO]

here's a good distilled article, says distilled is the benchmark by which all waters are compared. then it alludes at the bottom that some distallation is 99.9% pure of sodium.

interesting stuff:http://www.steamdistiller.com/distillerfaq.htm

If you did have to do a temp hook up of the RO then this might work:

More great info in this thread! I guess I will be getting a RO since my tap is 530ppm:no

Hey capo I don't know either. I looked around at 2 stores I was in and I can't find a sodium free label. Not saying it doesn't exist though.

On a side note I ran into some articles on high ppm water and it isn't safe to drink according to some people. It binds with chemicals and substances in the body and might be responsible for a lot of health issues. I did know not to drink mine though but that was just based on crappy taste and the way it fizzes with sulphur gas.

I have special well water. LOL!

I hear ya on that Tobor.........
Have you ever seen black well water, filled with sulpher, let it sit and then goes clear.
My friend tried to tell me it was safe to drink.....???

Only thing lackin about drinkin pure water from RO or Distill is getting the minerals we need. I sometimes think I feed my plants better than I feed myself.lol

nice unit you picked up darth fader i also own one of those and it works quite well.

Velvet, someone pointed out to me that this unit didn't have the attachments for a kitchen sink setup - the reservoir & the faucet, but that I'd be ok to hook it up by a washer/sink. I don't have those so I cancelled the order & went to bottled water (.25 a gal). The plants are doing fine now & I'm going to start keeping my eye out for a good undersink kit.

thx man. I'm just running a 3x3' tent so I'm not burning thru water anyway. Just fill up the 1 gal jugs twice a week. 6 more wks till chop & I should have an RO unit in b/f the next round. All the plants are looking great.
