As Watermelon is something like 92% water will it taste/smell like the aquaponics water? Just had a curious thought as we are eating today a watermelon bought from the supermarket while we wait for the ones we planted to grow.

I was being serious dude - nothing that grows in AP tastes like the water. All that happens is salt uptake can change the flavour. High concentrations of salt will make tomato's and celery taste saltier - and quite nice tbh.

Watermelon + AP =

Yummy too.

I've had celery taste a little odd at times, like rose hips and other herbs. Nothing else has ever tasted weird.
But I would happily drink my system water. I was genuine in askin what the evil taste of your system was. My dog also prefers system water over tap water.

I have never tasted the water and probably never would...considering the intense "farming" side of things and why they are there.

Have you seriously drank your water?

yeah why not? it tastes like clean river water, is always cool, has the tasty salts that tap water lacks and I know it's clean or my trout'd be dead.
I wouldn't drink goldfish water.
When ppl ask me if the veggies need washing, I rinse in system water and then drink some to prove it's good. it's really quite tasty so long as the seasol hasn't been near it for a while!

well yeah... I said system water, didn't say where from... there's a small open pool in my system between cascasing GB... the solids would be a bit much for me if straight from the FT.
