Water: RO or Distilled?

[JackdaWack]

yes/no, for me it wont be, and i think there is cal mag in the pure blend pro already, i belive i read it off the label. I have so much awsome stuff in my water as is, if i added any more additives other then nutes to it i would lock up alot. If your using tap water, i would say if u read out a ppm of lower the 200 it might help, but i dont think u will notice a change. the calmag is for ro or distilled water, and products such as pure blend pro include it in there formula for there source of mg and c

JackdaWack Reviewed by JackdaWack on 11-19-2006. Water: RO or Distilled? I'm considering either a Reverse Osmosis filtration system or a distiller to purify water for my plants as I am tired of lugging bottled distilled water home from the store. Both systems have their proponents and detractors and I would like some input from folks who use either. The RO negatives are that the filters get loaded with bacteria of their own and can actually be worse than tap water, in bacteriological terms. The detractors of Distilled water claim all minerals, even beneficial Rating: 5

never mind there is no cal mag in it.

Interesting side-point:::

There's no way that bacteria will be living at the later stages of a RO filter... maybe if they backtracked into the filter it self.

So even if the filter becomes laden with bacteria, they won't be coming out the other end of the spigot.

Thats a point that only occured to me later on too, you are absolutely correct. Plus, after looking some more all the home distillers, they are very slow producers. I think I'll just get a simple 5 or 6 stage R/O off eBay for like $110.

Dusto2k3, this is the first time I am using Cal-mag so I can't comment but I have heard great things about it.
