Question Tap Water, Mineral Water, Purified Water or Distilled Water???

Which type of water should I use with my aeroponinc system. Yeah, yeah, I know about the Ph and all that jazz. So which is best? Is there even a difference?

I would have to say Distilled water, because there is no chlorine or other chemicals that are added for "taste" like there are in the regular tap.

You probably don't want to to use "mineral" water either...for reasons that Omega said...you don't know which concentration of "minerals" are added to the water. You could probably go with "purified" water, since that is basically the same thing as distilled.

I have only been using distilled water, and it's been giving me no issues at all

I only do that 1 time at each cycle in my hydro setups ....

Veg - i have the plants in a bubbler (20 Litre tub, olds 2 - 4 plants)
Flower - Ebb n Flow (75 Litre tray 6 - 10 plants)

bealive me that the water bill would a lot cheaper if i use only tap water (after checking pH and ppm of course)...but destiled water or a reverse osmosis system are def the way to go...peace

Default water

hi, rain water is super, but not always a possibility.
the reason being its pure, and has a low EC, normally 0.1

this will allow you to add alot more nutrients without destroying the medium. however, tapwater is just as good. especially if you have soft water, or there is a filter on your home.

ppl say many things about water, but i always use soft tapwater. allow it to sit for 24 hours before use, to rid itself of chlorines, and measure the EC value. the lower it is, the more nutrients you can add. start with 0.6 for vegative stage, and continue to 2.2 till you finish your crop.....hope this was a help....
