yeah, it kills microbes, but how many, these things are meant to be effective in plumbing, you toss it in some organic soil sure you'll kill some microbes but i'm thinking the % of biomass effected is almost insignificant when there's soooo much other carbon based matter to react with,
also compost teas have been brewed with chlorinated water and out performed tea made w/ RO
personally i use distilled or RO water w/ about 10% tap as a buffer, but i throw some humic or fulvic acid in there first and all is good
i mean 1-4 ppm or 1-4 mg/L, i think the bigger problem w/ tap is dissolved solids
