LoL yeah there are a lot of snarky people on Rollitup. Great guys here though! Im like you as far as water. Im near Seattle and my water is about 20 to 30 ppms out of the tap and sometimes 8.4 pH. I do wonder if it has to do with how the water is treated by the supplier maybe some chemical or aeration? Could be that the water is from an anaerobic environment which woud explain low Co2 levels. This is just conjecture of course.
Twisting of leaves from fresh from the tap kind of points to chemicals huh. As far as i know the amount of chlorine in water is so low it may not affect ppm much at all...maybe a few points.
I dont pH adjust flush water but the only flush i do is to run salts out and i push nutrient solution water through directly afterwards. If you were doing a no fertilizer flush at the end of flower and it lasted days or weeks id pH it....I honestly never do that though. I just slowly lower my nutes at the end of week 6 so that im at about 200-300 ppms on my last watering.
