on your waters above 400ppm, if it was me
i would buy a
whole house filter + whole house uvc and if you want pure/00ppm for garden a r/o, if your on tap water it needs to be uv bulged as well for the sake of how pathogen prone non city water is ( hints why city water they put chemicals in it)
any person just trying to uvc only is only asking for the trace elements and metals and so forth and sediments to destroy it.
best combo for filter and uvc for tap is presentment filter (you can even quick clean it by pulling a knob and pressure clean it, suggested to clean it every 1-2 weeks by cold water and removing the iron/metals and sediment) than “ whole house filter” = Sedimemt + AES + KDF filter. Most modern “house filters”. can be rated for 50k-100k gallons and sediment is the cheapest filter but also the saver to the rest of the system so you want to replace that one 2x as often 25k-50k ( for my high iron 300-350 ppm)
this is a game changer for your whole plumbing and also anything that uses your tap water, including outdoors gardening and indoors, reason ‘ removes bad pathogens to 99.9%, bad tasting water , pesticides and voc , trace elements + many more. if you don’t dechornize For example out of the hose for your garden both indoors and outdoors it’s killing that beneficial and good fungus and eco system.
now if want water to be down to 000ppm but it’s removing the key bad things to make a useable and clean water vs bad pathogens and Inless lab grade cleaning and all salt and non organics
would work. Organic nutes and bad pathogens - a feeding feast for them and key is cleaning w/e you use as storage for water and if organics you can’t let a huge population of bad pathogens start there and then ask or blame the nutes when you have em a huge % of bad and love feeding on such.
great example of a
3 stage whole house is ( this is the model my own for my house )

the next step if you want 00 ppm is use r/o for your gardens and than you can program your micro nutes and what’s in it via what your applying vs a gamble of too much or misc issues to be blind towards , if you add your ferts on r/o you know exactly your math vs knowing exactly it can’t be such and no guratee every time
so many brands of r/o are crap and bad support as filter quality is crap , that’s a huge part of the efficiency is the grade of the filters and membrane . I support this brand
Growonix , reason = usa built and their filters are hand made in the USA and very durable structure . It’s def made for a grower and ive owned their r/o for almost 3 years and it works great. I had worst first rounds cause I thought I could avoid even having a whole house but all my iron and contaminates and everything it does remove just saves the average 500-2000 gal r/o filters vs a whole house ( normally 25k-100k+ per filter replacement ) + bigger uv tha a r/o uv .

I have a r/o uvc but since the whole house vs r/o was even cheaper to replace the bulb and can do 12 gallons per minute. I’m set for my whole house and indoor/outdoor garden 99.9% germ/bad pathogen killed before it goes down the main plumbing .
