My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

reverse osmosis water system and house plants?

19 years ago

we're getting a water softening/purifying system installed this week. The water into the house will be softened (we have VERY hard well water), and the drinking water into the kitchen will be run through a reverse-osmosis system.

Currently we have a water cooler and bottled water service - I use this to water my plants. Will this new system be safe for my plants, or will I need to get bottled water for them? (In summer, I will have access to one non-treated spigot.)

I apologize if this is an oft-asked question - I did a search on the forum, and did not find a definitive answer.

Thanks in advance~
