Lousy tap water

Tshred, TDS can be lowered with reverse osmosis. I don't think chloramine evaporates but it can be reduced with activated carbon filter.

Installing these in-line as a point-of-use may or may not be financially feasible. When it rains, some of these will be flushed from the Mel's Mix. During the dry season, maybe you can water with the rain barrel water. Of course, there was a time when rain water was the bomb, but now the first part of a rain water can contain SOX, NOX and particulate matter. I know the Valley only has good air quality (<50) a few hours after a rain. When I did my thesis 45 years ago, 20 was the average.
