dwc tap water at .66 ec Okay to use?

Hey guys I just switched to using tap water again. I find my ph much more stable using it, my question is. My taps ec is .66
Is that too hard to use regular nutes? should I be using hard water specific nutrients?

I don't know if GH uses a 500 or 700 conversion but recommends it's hardwater Micro for 350 "PPM" and above. You're either just below the line or well over it. I'd certainly give the hardwater Micro a try.

I always think the best method is mixing r/o water and tap water for a desired base water level. That ec is really high to start out with. Dilute your tap water with RO water, you'll be way more happy.

Like ursus said,it's better to use RO + Tap water.
This way you can preserve the buffer from tap water but having a reduced EC value.
I would say go 60-70% RO water and 30% tap water should be ok.

Take in mind tap water usually carry only Ca & Mg in big quantity...
 
I just noticed something...
The 2 part DNF nutes for fruiting npk is... 1-.50-3 and 3-0-3 for A and B respectively... lol
