Tracy:

I am in El Paso, and we have super high salt and other solids in our water. I had a lot of salt damage on my plants. Because of that, I bought a 200 gallon per day reverse osmosis system. That feeds the ro water into a 65 gallon tank, that then goes out to my container plants and my greenhouse during the fall/winter. I get my ppm down to 10, whereas the tap water runs from about 450-550 ppm. You have to have a pump to push the water from the 65 gallon tank, but it works great.
