What Kind of WATER do I use?

[ettin]

Heya's

 

Just wondering with tap water so full of chlorine, what should I be watering my plants?

 

Is there an easy way to disperse the chlorine?

 

Rain water is apparently the best but its not really an option.

 

Filtered water any good?

 

Cheers.

i use 50% RO water and 50% tap water ,i also let the water sit out with an air pump bubbling it for 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate

pure water rulez

sun light kills chlorine in a few hrs

filters will help

but what does 1 do with toxic waste in the spent filter has always left a bad taste in my mothers mouth

there are organic and even bio dynamic ways to purifie and charge the water with positive energies to enhance waters life sustaining qualities

I only use pure rain water for my plants and if you dont have a rain water tank then its definatly something to invest it IMHO and hey with the rebates the Goverment are offering i say go get one asap

i bought a reverse osmosis wall mount for $150....... much better for drinking no chlorine and rust and crap and the plants seem

2 like it, lowers ph to 6.6 bonus

i have been told that drinking pure reverse osmosis water is bad for you because it will strip ya body of its goodness.

 

i was told that if i should wont to drink RO water, i will need to put calcium & mag in the water to stop myself from becoming ill.

 

 

this may not be 100% true

 

only trying to help

The go with chlorine is to give the water as large a surface area as possible to evaporate off. Some time, let it sit.

 

RO can let chlorine thro, as do normal carbon filters.

It's true about the r/o method stripping out good minerals, with the particles, bacteria etc. Like with the chlorine tho, it might let some chemicals thro (herbicides etc)

 

Good water to all.

RO might let some in but id rather not drink full chlorine flouride and 100 other dirrty things.

I mainly use steam distilled for indoor growing but when it rains I will use rain water but I don't store it up, only enough for my next watering.
