So, long story short, my tap water sucks, being 450 ppm. City water, shit. Gonna be running rdwc. I hear tap has pathogens and all kinds of craziness in it, and I need to get my water down to 200ppm or less, so I can add my GH FloraMicro and FloraBloom in there.
I don't want to use the FloraMicro Hardwater, because it has no Boron, and 4% less calcium than regular micro, so i feel as if I'm missing out.
RO filters waste a shit ton of water/$, can't do that. No one sells GE Merlin 720 (RO unit) anymore...Was wondering if possible I can just setup a small boy/shortboy (whatever they're called), and maybe I can place a UV light shining onto the filtered water so I can kill the pathogens instead of spending $800 on a hydrologic1000?
Or should I just straight up get a home steam distillation unit at this point? Sigh....
Conclusion: Running RDWC, 450+ppm H2O, RO unit too much $/waste, need to bring ppm down without breaking bank...plz help gooby D:
