Water supply for hydro

Dear growers!

I'm going to get the water from a commercial source... The cheaper choice is fizzy co2 enriched. The normal plain water is a bit more expensive.

Can I use the co2 enriched water in my hydro?

Thank you for your attention:idea:

There is no reason to add C02 gas to your water. Remember leaves use the c02 for photosynthesis and the roots use oxygen. If you did anything I would suggest oxygenating the water for the plants and that in turn would give you a better growth rate. I'm currently using tap water for my hydro grow and I have to adjust the PH down. My water is hard water and starts with 300 ppm right out of the tap.

Would the fizzy water hurt the roots or not. Advantages-disadvantages? Thats the question.
