RO system

[badflash]

Many municipalities use sodium hydroxide to protect their pipes. Acid is the only way I know to deal with that. It goes through an RO filter.

what a score!
i got a free RO system from a friend who had it laying around in their shed. It is a hydroponics/garden system with pump and hose hookup.
Unlike the one's for under the kitchen sink this thing is HUGE and heavy.
the filtered water has a pH of around 7.2! (8.5 coming out of faucet)
But it has ammonia about .5 ppm (probably by the fact that chloramine is not entirely filtered out and the ammonia is what's left)

If i add vitamin C will that do the trick or does that only work when ammonia is part of the chloramine compound?


also, what a waste of water, i'd say it 2/3 go to the lawn.


ps: GO USA! show those brits how to play soccer..
