Hi Sean,
I enjoyed your interview with Colin Ingram. I filter my water for my orchids, so have a keen interest in water quality. My orchid species get purer water than my family!
I wanted to make one comment about water storage. In the interview, Mr. Ingram cautiously warned about the overgrowth of microbes in carbon filters and the like over time. I have seen algae growth in my reverse osmosis lines in the greenhouse, so I can verify this to be true. It really surprised me tho, as you’d think there’d be insufficient substrate available for these organisms to prosper – especially in the ultrapure RO output. Au contraire.
Best,
Chris

Good information about the quality of our water. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Can you tell me your thoughts on alkaline water?? I have been researching the best machine to buy for home use and feel I have narrowed it down and would love your opinion!
Thanks,
