Do Pseudomonas spp. impact orchids negatively?

I. Think that from a practical perspective, a residential RO system is fine for removing bacteria. Yes, over time, a biofilm will develop on the membrane that will reduce both its output and its efficacy, but if you change the membranes out regularly, as you're supposed to do, and disinfect the system with bleach when you do, you want have any problems.

Where this is truly an issue is with large scale reverse osmosis operations, where the membranes can be tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace.
