Water Purification?

[MadSince95]

Does the water I mist with need purification?

I would say yes. That's what they drink. Some of it depends on where you live. If you know your tap water is pretty good (no fluoride for example) then it might be okay.

It depends on where you live and the quality of the water you're exposed to. A lot of people do pufiry their water just to be safe.

tap water is fine to use with regards to health/safety--

generally most don't use it with their mister systems as it clogs them over time

 

[MadSince95]

What type of purification should I use? Any good brands?

 

[summoner12]

do you use tap water from the city or well water?

 

[MadSince95]

Tap and i think it has fluoride so I'm going to purify it.

[MadSince95]

Rob, I wouldn't recommend using RODI on the chams. RO is fine, but RODI is a bit of over filtration.

For those using tap water that isn't too hard, that your nozzles clog, sediment and carbon filtration is a good idea. If you get the right setup, you can remove a whole laundry list of bad stuff. RO water is a great route for those in areas with hard water.
