    Reverse Osmosis Water

    Doing some planning for the next grow. I'm looking at RO systems. Preferably one I can install in the garage. Any suggestions? Or system recommendations?

    Yeah don't! I disconnected my RO system as it increased my water bill significantly. Lots of WASTE.

      For every gallon of RO water you get you will throw away 4 gallons of water to drain. Unless you have some truly horrendous tap water I would recommend against it. Why are you considering it?

        I'm planning to use a super soil produced locally. The recommendation to maintain the microorganisms is use either distilled water or RO. I was thinking RO would be simpler, although I'm not thrilled about either option.

      If you really want a RO system, waste water is your biggest enemy. I recommend you go for a system that has a 1:1 filtered to waste water ratio, like the RO-505 from Global Water or the Home Master. You can look into both systems and draw some comparisons here if it helps make up your mind easier https://popular.reviews/reverse-osmosis-system/. However, if I were you, I'd honestly go for distilled water, it might be a bit more hassle to produce if you get a distillation unit, but I think it's much cheaper in the long run. I'm no expert though, so I could be wrong. Best of luck, bud!
