Thats going to add up fast. I would consider a Berkey filter system or BoogieBlue or something similar, or maybe even a whole RO system if its cost effective. Not sure how many gallons a day you use but that spring water is going to add up quick and Im thinking a decent filter would pay for itself on your first grow. Ive never done hydro though so someone else can probably better assist.

Ahh cool. Are you seeing issues and are concerned about PPM? I grow organic in soil and while I occasionally check my water and soil PH ive never once in my life checked PPMs.

What soil and nutes are you using?

280ppm at what scale? .5 or .7?

At .7 scale that’s fine to use.

Not so much if it’s .5 scale.

have you ever tested a bottle of spring waters ppm?
