I currently have softened water, I added a reverse osmosis system which has left me with a lower ph also a ppm of zero.
I was told by the ro sales person, that the ro would remove the salt .
Can I use this water for Gardening?

RO should take everything out of the water including chlorines .i screwed up at the beginning of my last grow by using softened water, the plants were in a nute lockout due to the added salts. hell ya use RO water good luck
