Thinking about using this...

I use this for my South american fish tank.


Tap Water Filter

*Give all your aquarium pets a healthy home in deionized water*Set up easily in no time - just hook up to any faucet (no tools needed!)*Easily remove impurities and dissolved solids from your tap water
Features super activated carbon and color-changing ion-exchange resin. The filter gradually changes color as it's working - proving effective filter performance and illustrating remaining filter life. Comes fully assembled and attaches to any faucet. Produces an average of 25 to 125 gallons of perfect aquarium water, depending on the mineral content of your tap water, before a new cartridge is needed. The tap water filter uses a disposable, easy-to-replace cartridge to remove sediments, chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, organic chemicals, and inorganic ions from tap water - creating contaminant-free deionized water for reef, saltwater, freshwater, and planted aquariums. Complete with universal faucet adapter, extension tube, connector, Electro-Right, and pH adjuster.


think it will work with watering??

i bet it works,i use a reverse osmosis system,with 4 filters and one more charcole filter,it takes everything out,and lasts for like a year before you change the filters,if you use a lot of water,you should get one but if you just need a little use your design.

Well the water comes out of my faucet at 300ppm of TDS. With that unit slightly used came out to be <10ppm. It works pretty good. Angels and apisto's having babies every time it rains. Wondering if I should use the electrolite in the water to stabilize it? What is your PH after using your reverse osmosis thingy? The PH out of this is like nothing. Cant even get a reading..

mine is ph of 6 and appm of 28,

i think its from the very hard water i have in the desert,city

I've used regular tap water left for 24 hrs for 6+years... never check PH.. never had any problems, except my overfeeding boo boo...
It may work well but I don't have any knowledge on those.... I like to keep certain minerals in the water..cal...etc.. IMO.. Luck.
