Hi bro.

it would be really good for your plans if you can get water with a lower EC.

1.0 EC is considered hard water and the PF will not perform as good as it will do with softer water.

Do you live close to the sea by a chance?

If the answer is yes, you will probably have hig EC on the tap water because of presence os sodium ( sea salt ), wich is really bad for plants.

If the answer is no, you will probably have high concentrations of Ca in the water.

The best you can do is to ask to the water company of your city an analysis of the water.

Take care.

PH 7,2, conductivity at 25 C 118,5 mS/m, Ca 140 mg/l, Ma 25 mg/l, Na 68 mg/l, NO3 2,2 mg/l. Dont Know what all this means I just see a real high Ca
