Water for misting system
Hello,
I was wondering if I need RO/DI or just RO is enough for the water used in my terrarium.
I am mostly trying to prevent nozzle clogging and glass salt deposits. The tap water has a hardness of about 8dG

RO is certainly sufficient. I'm about 6 years into using it with a Mist King system, and have never had to clean them.

I have never used RO water, only distilled and I have been using my misting pump for 4 years. It's good to know RO water will also work well.
