The water where I live is quite bad, I have a berkey filter for myself.

Am I going to need to filter the water for an aquaponics system? I dunno, I'm new to all this! I wouldn't want to kill my fish with whatever chemicals are in my water supply.

I'd be concerned about pesticides hurting the fish specifically, there's a lot of evidence that there's enough pesticides in typical water that it hurts fish and amphibians in the streams. So I would think it would be a problem for my aquaponics as well? Do you think one of these water filters would be good to remove pesticides?

Sorry if this is a dumb question and thanks for your help!
