R/O is awesome, and easier and cheaper than I thought it would be. I got some great 30 gallon barrels off craigslist, a little easier to handle for me than the 50 or 55, and plenty for what I'm doing.
D.Curtis made a good point about starting from zero being easier than chasing around a solution for your tap water issues. Good luck.

Town water? Chlorine? You can ask for lab results. I have both city water and well. The well water is stinky and kinda brown. Iron and sulphur, plants love it and results are way better than the city water.

I think that's true, but the opposite can be true too. I went from tap water to local spring water and everything went wonky. R/O filtering might not be the solution for everybody, but it is for me.

If we didn't have the well water that works, RO would be my next choice.

The house I rented a few years had well water. It tasted like shit, but the plants loved it!

Same deal except ours stinks too. We had the chance to get city water so it was a no brainer over digging another well that might not be better. I kept the well going for irrigation.

The well water here is pristine in taste, I am at over 8k elevation and the well is 360ft deep into granite. Wish my plants loved this water but I'm going to go RO, what a pain in the ass guys, I'm on my 2nd run that's been stunted by this. Good thing I didn't chase the problem any longer. Peace and happy gardening.

Any Chace your indoor water is going through a softener? Typically outdoor spigot are plumbed before the softener.
There should be a spigot at your pressure tank for purposes of taking water tests before house lines. By code this spigot shouldn't be threaded for a hose (as its for sample use) but it would be easy to swap out.

We have a softener but it is not in use for quite a few years now. I can check the water at the spigot to see what it reads. Good call. Out here where I live we have no codes lol, construction workers and such say we have the "code of honor" when asked.
