using the water machines at your local super market (know what im talking about?) and bring in your own jugs its much cheaper and its always at a ph of 6

its like 39 cents a gallon

you have to be very carefull if you are going to use bottled water. Not so much for the ph but for fluoride which will kill your plants quick. If using bottled water call and get a ph check and a fluoride ppm check. Some bottled water companys have 3-5 times the amount of tap water.

if you are using bottled water stick with anything that says "product of reverse osmosis." The rest of the bottled waters are not much, if any better than your tap water

i might use the poland springs water i just found a site and it
says it has a ph of 6.1-7.0 so it's in the perfect range!

poland spring is high in sodium and tds - i know because i had it tested... and actually my tap water tested better than poland springs bottled water. Reverse Osmosis is the highest quality water you can find... and no it is not always a ph of 6. PH is one of the very few things R/O doesn't affect, therefore the ph of the municipal water supplying the r/o will be the same after the cleaning process
