I just purchased a r/o system for my house. It can do 500 gallons a day, obviously I dont need that much. I am growing in 30 gallon pots, watering twice a week with each pot getting around 1.5 to 1.75 gallons, and about ten oz’s of recharge in between waterings. I also top dress once a month. My question is. Is using r/o water okay? as I was going to use my well water but recently found out my city water is also a supply for my well, as my house was built in 1908 and was a very common practice to hook up three way valves in side the house. Mine feeds my house with city water but also fills my well with a mix of city water and well water. Also the well is a shallow well only about forty feet deep which means it has a very high mineral and salt content. I was just going to use a r/o system and go forward but don’t want to strip my soil. should I just use a higher rock dust content and recharge to keep my microbial life happy also has earth worms in the soil.
