I do not think there is a filter that will help much. Filters remove
suspended solids while it sounds like you have dissolved mineral problems.
Water softeners will be little help because they simply replace the calcium
and magnesium with other salts. Regular rising of the plants with some sort
of acid bath (I have used citric) will help reduce the residue buildup, but
spraying your plants with acid water has it own problems. The best approach
I have found is to get better water for the Jaybird. RO is great for this
but requires a fair sized cash outlay and has maintenance issues as well.
Other options include collecting rainwater for the Jaybird or buying water.
I can buy a truckload of pretty clean water (1600 gallons I think) for less
than $25. Both the rainwater or bought water will require storage, a
pressure tank, and a pump. (A RO system will also require these three
things as well).

Does anyone know of a type of filter I could place on my hose bib that
feeds my JayBird 400 Fogger... that would reduce the amount of white
dust and residue (most likely from calcium, magnesium and other
dissolved solids).

I have a decent amount of water pressure. A simple flow test yields 10
gallons per minute... so I'd need a filter that can withstand that kind
of pressure when the hose bib is turned all the way on.

I really don't want to invest in an R/O system if at all possible.

Thanks,
Lori
