I am need of some water advice. Here is my query my tap water(this is a 5 year average) shows chlorine at .9 ppb, haloacetic acid(HAA5) at 60ppb, trihalomethanes(TTHM) at 80ppb, sodium at 7.8ppm comes out of the tap at 268ppm and 6.8 ph today. I cannot find anywhere in the published reports where they use chloromine and in my google studies of the other things in the water(HAA5 and TTHM) these are not chloromine or am I missing something(product of out come based education). So I think I should just be able to airstone boil this for 48 hours, and be able to use. I am growing TLO right now and will be making the jump over to DTW coco using Lucas/h3ad (trying to get rid of 15 year old GH nutes before I start making my own) . I literally killed it on two small test runs using overdriven t8's, modified lucas and caps bennies so the switch is inevitable.Right now I am lugging RO water from another place and it is getting to be a real PITA. It is just not possible to set up RO onsite. What I do with the TLO water now is add calmag until I get 150ppm i am thinking to finish this run is drop the calmag just mix 1/2 RO and 1/2 tap that gives me 150 ppm's and a ph of 7.0. Then after the switch to coco just go with the tap. Does this sound like a good plan? In my reading and some experience(when I ran Rock wool in the same place 15 years ago) I don't think I need the hard water micro. What say you when it comes to coco? Any advice or input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and if the mods think this should be in the coco forum please move
