I use unfiltered tap water with great results.
Thank you Loveall

Vegeta28 said:I have a large volumen of acidic water(ph 2.7 ascorbic acid and citric acid) there is soak the mimosa for al last 2 weeks and freeze 5 or 6 times( i dont have the time to do it) I am thinking in filter the most gross with a bubblebags then squeez in the hidraulic press the biomass(i have a chees pressfilter). If i do another extraction after press the biomass will be a lost of time? And my idea is boiling the acidic water to reduce before the base step, for a more easy volume to work, or will be better reduce under pressure in the rotovap at low temp?
Here in Brazil the medicines mans in the jungle make a "Ayahuasca Honey" that in a kind of ceromoni (feitio) boils 3 days the vine and reduce. Is extremly potent.. my doubt is if i boil the acidic water i was loss dmt?
Thanks
Vegeta28 said:Thanks man, but really i think need to do it, i know is a diferent procces, but i have a lot of gallons and kgs of bark , and i dont want to work with big volumes of solvent , i will make the extraction with ethyl acetate evap the solvent in roto and use it again, evap and again ,again ...until the solvent dont pull any more. I think the ethyl acetate makes a more "full spectrum". And if i want purify dmt rex in heptane
I will update the journey. Maybe i will make other tread for not step this.
Thanks and love
but what is the cause?Ime, you get less yield. I use distilled.
Yes, there are varying degrees, and types, of water hardness. This relates to the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium salts in the water. Whether, and how much of, the hardness is temporary or permanent depends largely on the proportions of bicarbonate and sulfate. Calcium and magnesium form insoluble carbonates, either by reaction with added soluble carbonate, or from thermal decomposition of the bicarbonates (which is what leads to scale in kettles and other water-heating devices). Adding a hydroxide will also precipitate carbonates from bicarbonates, as well as precipitating magnesium hydroxide from any soluble magnesium salts, and some calcium hydroxide - which is only slightly soluble.I'm not sure, but guess that it could be various amounts of minerals and additives in my local tap water.
