RO - Reverse OsmosisWell??? Is it "Regular Old" water? ..."Rain Overflow"? ..."Regulated Osmosis"? We don't need a running thread; just one simple, accurate answer would be nice.

Basically water you get after running your tap through an RO system. The basics are that it separates water based on different levels of salinity using a membrane. Approx. 3 gallons of tap make 1 gallon of RO filtered water.

Reverse Osmosis is the process of stripping all (well most anyways) of the dissolved salts out of water.
The water is run through a series of filters and membranes. Like above post stated, for me to make 1 gallon of ro water, i waste approx. 3 gallons.
This process will make water with a very very low ppm.
Well worth the cost, if you ask me, to know exactly what nutrients your plants are getting.
