Hello,
I have a 4yr old Reverse Osmosis system sitting a garage that has not been used for at-least 2 years.

I would like to bring the system back to life and use it for plants and drinking water both. After sitting idle for so long I bet it is borderline a...
So, I am trying to produce starts from leaf pullings in reverse osmosis water with the addition of very dilute fertilizer. I have had good success with reverse osmosis water alone, but am curious if trace amounts of fertilizer may help the process. Has anyone else tried this? If so, what was...

Hi,
I just want to get a few opinions on the following:
I have been using Distilled water for all my CP's which I buy from the local Pharmacy. This unfortunately is not cost effective, so I have been looking around and I found a company that uses Reverse Osmosis to purify their water and sell...
After two years of buying gallons upon gallons of distilled water on the market every week, I think it is time for me to get an RO/DI unit. I posted something on a couple forums last year, but I can't remember which ones (all I remember is that one was a reef forum)... I guess I need something...

Some background insight first, I guess. I have about twenty to twenty-five containers of...

Bottled Mineral Water and Tap Water contain far to many chemical’s and mineral’s that the plant does not like.

bisnicks' Mini-bog container build
So recently I decided I wanted to build my own mini-bog container garden. After scouring through forums, I finally decided on how I would be building it. My mini-bog isn't original at all, but a fusion between two of my favorite mini-bogs I have seen on this...
Easy question with probably a complicated answer: what would be the best reverse osmosis system and/or recommendations for a good RO system for carnivorous plants?
I have recently jumped my collection size by a factor of three and am finding getting jugs of distilled water impractical and...
Hello All!
I've made a few posts here and there over the last year but I figured it was finally time to (re)introduce myself. My name is Matt and I'm a carnivorous plant enthusiast from central Pennsylvania. Some may remember me from quite a while ago in my teenage and early college years...
Anyone familiar with how much I need to spend to get an adequate RO set-up? Will this do the job? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-100GPD-Reverse-Osmosis-RO-Water-Filter-PO4-100-/380210084591?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item5886497aef

First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...

Other than via reverse osmosis is there a water conditioner used for tap water that removes or neutralizes copper? I have a dechlorinator that says "neutralizes chlorine, chloramines and harmful metals instantly" but it doesn't specify which metals.
I looked for something to reconstitute R/O...

Not my picture:
I was curious for those of you who have kept regular Triops (or...
Just got the reverse osmosis unit installed yesterday and the water after being treated reads 40 ppm. Would this be safe for all CPs? I've heard everything from under 100 to under 20. I do have quite a few undrained pots of plants also. Would this be a problem? Previously I have always used...
