Even if not in use it could be doing something. I'm no expert but I know they require that threadless spigot for a reason. If there's ever a water issue, you can test both at sink and that spigot to compare

I use ro for my well water just too high ppm and high iron in water. Look in toilet tank and if red on inside walls that’s iron. For a ro filter you do not need the di (deionized) filter also. Also get a system with a booster pump if water pressure is below 60 or so, or add a booster like I did later, really bumps up output. Less than $200 for ro and booster. Gl OG

I always have well water tested.
Once you know what is in it, you can usually work around it.

Last time I checked, almost all tap/well water has elements in it which are not plant useable. No way to work around it. This means nearly every water source will produce inferior cannabis quality to r/o quality water.

Choice is yours.

A winking emoticon still does not make that statement true.

It's a well known fact that most calcium sources in tap/well water are not in a highly plant available form. Very few people are lucky and have **only** plant usable elements in their water source, most are not.

Get over it.

Again, they easily become plant available...
Amino acids, fulvic acids, microbes, etc. all make it a completely moot point.

Organic soil only, and only with time which isn't what we're talking about. You're kidding yourself if you believe everything is converted in the soil before cannabis absorbs it.

Soil or not, it doesn't matter.
Organic or not, it doesn't matter.
Plant science applies regardless.
Some elements will be available instantly, some with a little more time.
I'm not sure why you think I believe everything is "converted" in the soil.
You are quick to jump to conclusions.
Cannabis can absorb "unabsorbables" without first being converted.
It is not a unique plant in that regard.
Elements can catch a ride without being converted.
Encapsulation and vascular bundles are not new science. There are many papers available on Google Scholar that go in depth and may help you you understand.
