Hi guys.Been a long time no posting here.
I did with a bit of effort and translated my water parameters because I cannot flush my plants always buying water,I am destroying my wallet and It s very frustrating.I have used distilled water and mineral water but want you to read my TAP water and tell me if I can grow in soil with It.Even Coco,o don’t mind switching if necessary.
Here Is the chart.I use biobizz nutes.
Calling out an expert for sure:
@Mañ'O'Green
And waiting for other or anyone who can read those specs

Hi @draxcel I do not see any reason you cannot use your tap water in that report. The calcium/magnesium is not too high. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water? Why did you think you could not use it?

Be sure to tag me with your answer.

@Mañ'O'Green Omg you Always respond,so kind Person...Anyway,i measured ppm and us/cm with my TDS cheap Meter that I assume Is based on HANNAH scale(500 scale) and the result was:
198 ppm/421 us/cm.People keep telling me I Will kill biobizz beneficial bacteria with this Water and that letting It sit for 24h Is not a fix cause It contains chloramine and not only Chloride
What do you think?I Need to hear your opinion cause I really trust your work over here
 
198 PPM starting water is getting high but is very usable. Do not add any Cal-mag to the fertilizer program.

Chloramines Removal

You are looking for ascorbic acid - vitamin C. The store brand is usually the cheapest without other stuff added in. 50mg per gallon will treat water with 3.8 PPM of chloramines. Just add the acscorbic acid and let sit overnight. Easy Peasy.

So 1 gallon Is roughly 3 liters,I have to add 50mg ascorbic acid( bought in powder ?)every 3 liters of water or more?
I mean,specifically in my water*

Yes the typical Chloramine level in municipal water is about 3.8 PPM so 50mg per gallon.

This will treat 9000 gallons :crying:

Hey sorry I'm jumping into this late but have you considered the option of a reverse osmosis filtration system? I had really disgusting water where I live with a PPM of 430 coming out of the tap! I am not advocating or advertising for any brand but I bought one of those stealth RO 150 gallon per day filters for a pretty decent price and setting up has become an actual pleasure. I get readings of anywhere between 0 and 13 parts per million after the filter. I'm no expert at this stuff but I would tell you that it certainly does make it easier to get your water going because there are no Built-in buffers so you pretty much have complete control.
