550ppm is high. When my buddy used Scotty's method twice, his water came in around 210ppm. Worked just fine with no problems. Made sure to aerate his tap using an air pump and air stone for at least 24 hours. Used GH Flora Nova Bloom from seed to harvest, which I might add does a damn good job of balancing the pH when you hit flower.

OK the airstone for a day dropped it to about 340 ppm. Makes me wonder "what the hell am I drinking?";other than minerals, toxic levels of flouride, estrogen and chlorine....etc....Im surprised this thread is still active. Props to scotty and all waterfarm heroes. Sticky this thing already.

If I were you, I'd buy a RO system ASAP. I wouldn't drink that water, the tap here is ~250 ppm and it tastes like shit, I couldn't imagine how pad 500ppm would taste!

U were measuring chlorine ppm apparently it evaporates off after 24 hrs I don't do shit to my tap even though I probably should lol. Just fill add nutrients and ph is what I do lol. Im just not caring til I run ro lol. Unfortunately my oh is ao damn high flora nova doesn't do much to buffer for me lol. If I was usin ro it would be a no brainer.

How would you go about making your own homemade version of the water farm? Like where would easy mistakes in construction commonly be?

For me the most difficult part was to avoid any leakage. Check my grow, it's on a DIY "waterfarm".

I just read the entire thread and it really is a bible. Well done Scotty! Does anyone know where to find the condensed version anymore? I clicked the links posted earlier but it says it's missing or has been deleted.

Hi All,
I copied the thread yesterday and I am cleaning it up to make a book for me. If it is OK with Scotty and RIU I could share it when it is ready.
Cheers,
Mo

This has got me so interested in the water farm...

What kind of pump are you using Scotty? The links in the thread are outdated.

I've been inspired :clap:

I think he said use at least a 60 gallon air pump. I got a 60 gallon tetra from amazon but you can also get them at a Walmart. Mine was $10 cheaper on amazon though. It's the whisper model and it's virtually silent.
