New Grower Who has the nastiest tap water???

[AutoToker]

I think my tap water is up there on one of the worst. What kind of readings do you guys get from the tap? Mine are below.

PPM To EC

AT..........your tap water is 447ppm. Divide this by 500 for EC ? = 0.894 ec that don't leave alot of room for nutes at 1.2ec, leaves 0.3 ec for nute room. Or would you add 1.2ec to 0.894 = 2.094 ec ?/............AB.........

Ps;....my tap water reading from my Hanna Dist 4 HI96304 EC/TDS Pen is 06 600ppm ?? and Ph when fully saturated is 8.1 That's nasty for sure.......

in theory you add it on top of the base going over 2.0 but really need to dilute it to half that with rain or RO water and investing in a hard water nutrient formulation would be advised also

dont have a picture of the test i did on my tapwater but here in norway ive measured it to 0,08 ppm, but i think it was because of a dirty probe. I think we got some of the cleanest water in the world here, i dont know of any water source that isnt safe to drink from anywhere around here.. never heard any warnings regarding any watersource.

im really happy its like that, not sure if i could deal with bottled water only.. thats a strange thougth to me...
