I have a leak in my RO system and shut it down until spring (cold under the kitchen sink, and I hate plumbing). I have been using tap with no ill effects so far. I do let it sit out overnight since we have a lot of Chlorine (the real stuff) in our water.
Yeah we’ve got tons of rust and iron in our water. Unfortunately I don’t think it’ll evaporate like chlorine will. It took a while to build up but the effect was unmistakable manganese deficiency. I bought some powdered manganese sulfate but I don’t know how much to apply so I’m not going to use it. Plants have worked back up though since I’ve stopped using my tap water.
The upside is the spring water has 2% calcium so they should have plenty of it.
