Paph problems
Not really trying to escape anything except chlorine. It's more that the
dehumidifier is "making" water so I might as well use it. I remember when I was a kid, my mother would use it in her iron thinking it was essentially distilled or pure water. I figured the same but was suprised when it read higher on the TDS meter than the tap water. And yes, we're blessed here in Seattle with great water! In the greenhouse, I simply use a hozon thingy to add fert to the tap water. "Clare Sleeter" wrote in message ... What is in the Seattle water that you are trying to escape? I ask the same. The water up here is so wondxerful compared to Southern CA.

So, Why are you using RO water? And DEHUMIDIFIER water is NOT RO. It is, in my experience, not very clean or chemical safe water. What metals are in the pipes in your dehumidifier? What is in Seattle's water you are trying to escape? What is in the new water?
