New Grower Tap Water 160 PPM......Good or Bad???? What is permissible???

[Bud Wiser]

I just checked my tap water with a TDS meter and it says its 160 ppm. Can I use my tap water for my drip system or will I have to purchase a RO filtration system??? I will be running GH flora bloom.

160 is perfect, its were you want it. Just make sure if it is chlorinated to let it evaporate off.

Just remember to keep the water moving with a pump or bubbles, has the added benefit of helping to oxygenate the water as well, win/win.

About 24 hours, smell the water before you use it to make sure.
