I labeled the pictures, it's weird cuz i checked the TDS before and both Brita and Tap water had really high PPM. Above 100. And the hose water outside was around 10-20 PPM. All are safe for my CPs though :D

The 10-20 is great, but the 100 is still iffy if you don't know what those TDS are.
For example: My water is 100 - 110, but it's low in sodium, nitrates, and calcium, so I just water all my mature plants from the hose.
