Distilled vs. RO Water

With RO water running H202 is it as effective as the Heisen Tea recipe?

We are screwed for getting Hydroguard in Canada. The only source is like 200 a gallon so i can buy 5 gallons of 30% food grade peroxide for that (50 gallons of 3%).

Peroxide is working but the bennies idea is pretty cool. And food grade perxoide is scary shit.

Distilled is a great option if you live in a location that gets lots of sun.
I've built several small scale solar distiller/ pasteurizers for summer use here.
The cost of purchased energy is the downside to distilling. Its not a fast process and doesnt produce quantity quickly.
But you dont have to superheat or boil to distill. Just heat to above 165ºF, as in pasteurization, and collect the condensate.
I'm working on a small system that attaches to the outdoor wood boiler I use all year for pre-heated water to my electric water heater tank and my homes primary heat source in winter. Its set at 160ºF but is adjustable. Might work for some extractions as well or distilling spirits :D
Still, I much prefer distilled to any other water source for just about all my uses. Though carbon filtered open catch rain water is my go-to before tap or RO for large quantity garden use.
Good luck spyralout, great info Mr Heisen. Waiting for that book as well ;)
Nice insight thanks @jpcyan (y)

I've had good success with the bennies in both hydro and soil. Have not tried h2o2 other than spraying the roots if I see something a bit funky. Check with @SoLowDoughLow and @Texagonian they can tell you their experiences because they've run both (not at the same time) in their hydro systems somewhat recently.

Just chiming in guys. I had better success or results with the bennie tea. I tried running sterile but it seemed a bit more difficult than using the tea and actually I had explosive root growth all the way to harvest. I had to trim roots back from the flood and drain diffuser heads because the roots were trying to clog them up. Just what I experienced for what it’s worth. 🍻✌🏻

This has been my experience also. Better root growth and health with the bennies...
