Default Adjusting RO water

something funny... we all have this bad water we go through alot of trouble
to adjust for our fish, yet we drink it...

I have well-water and it is totally ruined with nitrates, nitrites, and
probably other chemicals due to living next door to a poultry farm, and

also
land that has been treated with bad farming chemicals. I have been going
five miles to get water and carrying it inside.

I finally decided to purchase an RO system. It has not arrived. I have
read some about RO water not being the best thing for plants (and some
fish). What I'd like to know is, what is the best way/product of

restoring
the good chemicals to the RO water? I know of Kent RO Right. Will it do
the trick nicely? Any suggestions or help will be very appreciated.

My tap water is pH 7.0 (approx). I have a Sword and Anacharis, and

looking
to get a variety of plants from TAP. I have 1/3 fluorite susbrate, and
will be using PMDD and TMG. Probably DIY CO2 eventually.

thanks,

bob
