Ok it's time to change out all my filters on my current reverse osmosis system. It's 4 years old and after looking into things it's just going to be cheaper to buy a new unit in the long run. I will be using it for both growing and drinking water. Should I do 5 stage for growing or 6 stage for drinking? 5 stage would be neutral and 6 stage would have added minerals, so which is the better option? Does anyone here own a 6 stage and can tell me what their avg PH and PPM are? This is the one i'm probably going to buy on Amazon. Any help is appreciated.

I have a five stage and ph is generally a high 8 almost 9 but I only use mine to drink. But I can tell you i raises the ph of my well water without the sixth stage. My well water I use for my plants averages around 7.2-7.5.

My current setup isn't bad just very pricey on a yearly basis. I get a perfect 7.0 ph with around 25-50ppm using well water. My incoming well water is typically 250-350ppm and 7.5ph. My wife likes the taste better with the stage 6 stuff they sell in bottled water now. I agree the minerals make it taste different. Is it better or worth the extra cost of the filter?... so far i'm not sold.

I don’t think it’s worth it honestly. My well is 200ish as well.
