For the purposes of hydroponic gardening, it’s very important we use high quality water. Unfortunately water quality can differ depending on the area you live in. For example, if you live near the coast you are much more likely to have higher sodium content in your water supply. Using water with too much sodium in your hydroponic garden can have many negative effects on your plants. These include brown looking leaves due to dehydration, stunted growth and in addition, your vegetables may taste really bad. Fortunately we can fix these problems by use of a reverse osmosis filter system. I’ve tested out the Watts Premier RO-Pure 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis System [...]

If when testing using the pH scale, a full point change in pH means there is a 10 fold increase or decrease either in acidity or alkalinity. Water with a pH of five is 10 times more [...]
