Paul O'Keeffe Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Living in a flat, my only option is to buy de-ionised. I'm renting so a reverse osmosis water filter isn't doable but it's a question on standard filter water like a Brittas filter for example. Can the water from a filtered jug be used or best not to?

Tropfrog Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Why should RO unit be out of the question in rental home? I was in rental for years and were using ro. Just connect it to tap, do a big batch that lasts a month or so and then store it away. Brittas filter do not make water softer, hence will do no difference to the plants.

I thought they had to be plumbed in and became part of the furniture in the kitchen. Anything like that I stay away from but if it's an easy option, I'll look more in to it. Thanks Magnus.

Guy Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Or you could look into buying RO water from a local aquarium shop. Mine charges 17p/litre, many charge less. Guy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
