    Default Pond water

    Seen an old post from 2006,that said to use water from a pond or river to do first spring flush. My pond is 17' deep and kept full with irrigation well,no ditches. Would you use it?

    You need to use clean water...drinking water that doesn't contain chlorine. Chlorine will damage the ro membrane.
