Page 7 of this document is the report. I want to know if my tap water is good enough for Plant life or should I just go to RO I have 2 RDWC setups. I did just learn about FloraKleen though so that should help with the salt build ups. The Water tends to come out at about 180 ppm.

Why don't you just paste the info.
Won't open the PDF for me.

If ppm are under 300 you should be fine for the most part.
Many people are religous about RO in DWC b/c they don't want any contaminants. They want a clean slate to add all their expensive nutes to.

Not an expert, but...
No chloramines used, that is good.
ppm 144 of cal and mag, shouldn't be a problem save you from need cal mag too I would assume.
Not sure about the sodium and chloride, levels don't look too high to me.
pH is close enought to neutral, most nute will have buffers and get it into the 5.5-6.5 range.
Copper and lead are in ppb, shouldn't be an issue.

Simple chlorine and sediment filter would suffice for most purposes, IMO.
Homedepot, pretty cheap.

PM me if you need to see the setup, I can get you the link, but it is on the Farm.
