lol yeah he told you the basics.If you want you can buy one of those Brita screw on water filter for your sink for $40 and that will clean the water just like bottle water if you want.I have these little screw on filters I screw one onto my facet get my water unscrew it and put it away.Then just add the water let it sit a day drop in nutes check the ppm and ph and off you go.
