Good day all - I stumbled across this recently and found it very interesting.

I live in Toronto and I went digging into my water supply details and it turns out all this information is just there for the taking.
Interesting notes -
Average pH 7.4
High hardness (calcium carbonate)
8 mg/L magnesium. (Enough for plants?)
There’s a lot more info in there but that’s the takeaway for me.
lol i live in Oklahoma and i cant even drink the water here… 700ppm and sometimes it comes out orange. i have to run all my water for my plants through an RO system, time consuming and wasteful. i have a second location 20 miles from here and its water is 100ppm and is testing perfect for growing. this is the first time ill be able to use unfiltered water for growing, so excited.
I lived in Texas for a bit. In the summer the water came out hot grey and smelly. I think it’s because the water table is so high that they can’t feasibly bury the pipes too deep. And there are no more aquifers so they are tapping the lakes.
This is me parking up at our source water for a doob and they do fluoridate in some places here just not where we are. I’d question it a lot more if it was fluoridated. I like my pineal gland uncalcified bro
Lol I like to mainly question one but we won’t go there and I ride nothing at the moment. Got an almost done (has been a while) xj900s diversion cafe racer project. Considering another little 125 to Chuck about when we get to better weather again.
That’s a Bonny little bike. It’s taken every ounce of my being so far to not buy an old BSA bantam. Maybe I’ll just have a quick look what’s on eBay now dodgiest thing I’ve brought back is a bench grinder. A slide and I would have been in a wheelchair kinda ropey that. Fuck that again
My tap water has a ph of 5.2. Super acidic. I grow outside in soil and I still never adjust ph. I leave a bucket over night to dechlorinate it and thats it. Only problems ive ever had were when I tried to adjust it. Soil is amazing in it’s buffering capabilities
Yeah your likely correct @Northern_Loki.
My water is classed as semi hard (I thought that was a problem men in their 50s got ) and my hydro store said i needed nutrients for soft water and that’s what I bought so I’m gonna go buy some hard water nutrients, clean out the rdwc system and see how much of a difference it makes. My water out the tap comes out at 0.4 EC that’s around 200ppm. Seems really high to me.
We’re kinda spoiled out here, Town’s water is spring-fed, averages <150ppm max. That being said, there was a piece in the local paper a few years back, a multi-million dollar deal to bring us up to EPA standards fell thru. Lmfao
My brother’s crib is well water out in an old-growth forest, ~30ppm consistent. Could bottle and sell it, it’s so clean.
