Hey everybody,

I'm new to the boards here and I saw you guys talking about reverse osmosis water.

Here's some stuff I've researched about it. In my opinion, its a really effective filtration process, however, its very wasteful and counterproductive.

Shake,

Here's a link that tells you some pretty good specifics on what RO does to water:
Reverse Osmosis Water Filters and Water Purification

Pros and Cons of RO water:
Grower 101: Reverse Osmosis --The Pros and Cons

These articles make an argument agains the use of RO water, pretty interesting:

Reverse Osmosis Faucet Produces Water Lacking in Nutrients

Reverse Osmosis Water Units and Why You Should Avoid Them If You Want to Stay Healthy

So, if you were to water with RO water, you would need to add CalMag, not to mention any other nutrients you want your plants to be absorbing. Also, watch pH...

By the way, call me sauce. Nice to be on "board"

In addition, not too sure why my greenhouse wants us to use RO water. It might be because the city found anti-depressant drugs and contraceptives in our tap water...that MIGHT be it.
