So I have given up an getting any semblance of quality water from my well. I've tried pre-treating the water by running through a basic filter and aerating for a week but the KH is 21 dKh and GH about 70-90 ppm no good for my planted tank or cichlid tank.
So I'm thinking of getting an RO system as buying bottled water is pricey as is running my distiller 24/7 but as I am a total newbie to RO systems I was hoping for some advice. I have one tank upstairs one downstairs and so lugging buckets of water isn't ideal but I'm not sure how these systems work. Could I run a hose from the RO system to the tank?
I'm not looking for anything terribly fancy just functional so what should I be looking for in a system?
Any help is much appreciated!
