Softeners and an R/o system

[leslieann79]

Hello all. I have a water softener and we use potassium chloride to soften the water. I got tired of having to go outside to bypass the softener to get water for my orchids, plus that water is very hard. We installed an r/o system last night. It is installed after the softener. From what I've read the softener makes the r/o system work better. Also everything I've been reading has said that the r/o system will remove the potassium chloride and make everything fine for watering the orchids. I thought I would check with y'all smart orchid folks. Any thoughts?
