SO I am really sick of waiting for my Ro filter to fill up my 100 gallon res. I have 2 systems that are 100+ gallons each. I even have a comercial merlin and I still feel like Im allways waiting for water. I know I could just get a larger res but I dont really have the room. I live in the CO mountains and our house is on a well and frankly the water is delicious straight from the tap unfiltered. Well ppms are 160 and ph is 7.1. When I moved here the house was on a well so I just assumed that I needed a RO.
I found many online water testing kits. I just dont know what I need to test for and what is good or bad for the plants.
What test should I get?
If I get it tested could someone here help me interpret the results?
I am pretty confident that my straight well will work just fine but I cant risk a crop to experimentation.
Also its summer now does the water quality change with the seasons?
When I fill a glass strait from the tap I notice that it is cloudy for about 10 seconds then it goes clear after it gasses off for a minuet. It doesnt smell like anything. Just tastes great.
Maybe I could just use an inline filter that doesnt use RO membranes that has a much higher flow rate.
I also dont like watching ro runoff just constantly wasting away in my back yard..
Any water experts out there?
Thanks

EDIT: I am running 2 large diy undercurrents, so I cant test plants individually.
So its all or nothing. I want to test and be sure before I jump in with both feet...
