Thanks for all the replies peeps! I'm sure either method would be more than adequate for my needs and I am over-analyzing.

Until I started investigating this I didn't even know you could get a small household distiller but that is the direction I'm leaning. I just started using Cal-Mag with the last watering so I'm covered in that regard.

doco Reviewed by doco on . 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
