Subject: Adding spring water
|
Some posts here, plus what I found on various web sites have suggested
that my use of RO water is less than ideal for espresso taste. One
proposed adding "some tap water" to the RO. Inasmuch as my tap water from
a community well varies from swimming pool chlorine to muddy and brackish,
this would not be a good choice for me. However, I did purchase a jug of
"Spring Water" from Wal Mart, which they sell in addition to their RO and
distillied.
The question is: what proportion of "non-RO Spring Water" should be added
to the RO water to acheive a good balance?
Thanks,
Godzilla

Unless you somehow own the rights to Water Pik, not quite sure how
that would go..<g >
