Question
Hello,

I have seen that lots of people use reverse osmosis units to make pure water for their carnivorous plant, but I have a reverse osmosis de-ionizing unit that I use to make water that is about 0-3 ppm for my coral reef fish tank. I just want to make sure that carnivorous plants are ok with de-ionized water, it probably dosent make a difference, its just that I haven't seen anyone else use a RO/DI unit for this purpose. Thanks

Answer
Hi Joe,

That water is great.  With readings like that you practically have distilled water.  Our water coming out of our RO unit is closer to 20ppm, so that is fine.  The deionizer just takes out any additional mineral ions that make it through the membranes.

Good Growing!
