But many places use Cholramine now.
That takes longer to evaporate.
RO water is like using a clean slate, the downside is if your nutes lack something so will your solution.

hey lazy...my well water comes in worse than yours...how well is your r/o unit dealing with such high ppm??? thinkin of gettin one but i dont wanna have to replace filters everyweek
nice grow bro looks great! i too have to same problem with burn tips my ppm was to high 1200 and my PH kept dropping so what i did was i lower my temps from 80-82 to 76-78 if i could raise the lights up more i would and temps down to 75.so i upgrade my rez size from 50 gallons to 96 gallons so that i'll have more nutrient buffer so PH wont shift so much half of the rez goes out each feed and the other half stays to buffer when water comes back.i also noticed that flushing has helped so now i flush every 2 weeks.just lower your nutes to 1.6 EC 800 ppm and keep ph at 5.6 and flush regularly keep your lights at 3 feet from tops and temps 75 and you'll do just fine.here is a pic of my burn that has stoped after i did all this.hope you dont mind the pic just wanted to show you its not bad you can fix it
look at the leaves how the heat had it play in this too

That's why I was asking before why someone suggested using RO water...some need it, others (like you) don't.

Just finished a res change, with a quick flush in between. I'm now running 15ml/gal dyna gro bloom, with 5mL/gal mag pro and 5mL/gal pro-tek. With 75 gallons that I mixed up, I had to add a total of about 350mL of GH Ph Up to get the PH to 5.9-6.0. Final EC reading is between 2.1 and 2.2 Unbelievable, I really can't believe that this much PH Up is a good thing. We'll see what happens in the next day. There will be no excuse for any deficiency at this point, the only thing that could happen is some burn. If thats the case, I'll be just swapping out some nutrient mix for plain water. That doesn't solve it, I'll be done with another line of nutrients, dynagro.
RR- did you make that diagram just for me? Where do you insert the batteries?

OK, I use a Tallboy as a prefilter, then a GE Merlin for RO, it comes in at 580 or so and out at 70-80ppm. GE actually recommends a water softener be employed in concentrations about 400PPM (or thereabouts) as it's easier for the filter to remove sodium from the softener than the minerals sodium removes. They tell me my membrane should last 1.5-2 years at 150gpd, but the prefilters should be changed annually at my usage. Your mileage may vary!
I'll give you one guess
This ^^^ is the usual culprit as I have explained previously, but other things can happen as recently posted by others. All good statements popping up in the recent posts.
Found the pic on the web. Batteries LOL! You should see these dogs run. I'll try to find a link.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The tallboy and merlin unit kick ass. With a decent amount of water pressure out of the pipes they filled a 50 gallon drum with super clean water in 2 hours. I was amazed at the speed. The typical house units never achieve that speed even with a booster pump.
