Default Bottled Water?
Ok so I have found my tap water to be complete and utter crap, not that I didnt know that before, but there must be alooooot of dissolved solids, it doesnt seem to matter how much ph-down I add, it never goes below like 7
So, rather than go and buy 20 different kinds of bottled water and test them all to find one thats good, I figured I'd take the easy road and ask those who probably know
Anyone know if there is a brand of bottled water that you can buy thats already around 6.5ish ph? I have gone through $20 in ph down in only a few weeks just to find its doing nothing but poisoning my plants
Any help would be great

I would buy a reverse osmosis machine and filter your tap water. Getting water gets old real fast. Ya can only have 1 or 2 plants as well.

Yeah I only have a small grow to water, and certainly dont want to spend the kind of money they ask for a ro system, and I have heard that the cheap ones are prety ineffective at removing chlorine and dissolved solids and such
I was thinking distilled myself, what I was really hoping for was a sure fire way where I dont always have to ph test and adjust before watering

stay away from bottled water if you give a shit about your environment. think of all of the waste produced from bottling our most abundant and used natural resource, and that's waste that doesn't break down over time.

all i know is calistoga water has co2 in it naturally from the geysers, it would be expensive to use unless you lived next to a geyser like myself. But the advantages are endless

IsmokePotbecauseItsCool.... Consider the following sources of free water : Catch rainwater.... or get it from a local stream....(not near a big factory - of course)... a local Pond, River or Lake.......
.
FDA rules require the makers of bottled water to list the ingredients on the bottle or jug, so it's easy to determine if they have added chlorine.
Walmart has those big 2.5 gallon jugs for a few bucks and buying them - throws up no red flags.
.
Keep it Real...& lean towards free water.....
