Default Water?

Do you think a Britta water filter (pitcher style) would work for watering a Nepenthes? I am concerned about the calcium and other mineral content from the tap water.

Default Re: Water?

I wouldnt use one. Just because it says its a water Purifier Doesnt mean it removes everything. On their site they recommend that you don't use it for Tropical fish so like i said it obviously doesn't remove everything.
So if you really care about your plants i would highly recommend you use a R/O or a DI filter.
