Anyone have any idea wether or not it would be beneficial or detrimental to give plants this still water instead of tap water?

depends if you have good city water or a water out of the well with added softeners . if your drink your water then your throwing your cash away my opinion

that hooked to your hose will make u happy .........clears out the crap that is bad for the plant that city water adds to the system

I don't know if anyone noticed the 7.8 ph at source, you'll need ph down I'm sure.

Just use an acid like apple cider vinegar to drop your ph to 6.5-7 or lower depending on your medium.

That would more than likely be much better than your tap. It is not the best solution but still better than tap.

I've see people use water with several hundred ppm and their grows do fine.
