my tap water is ~250ppm... i don't have issues. depends on what those elements are and what concentration they will be... some stuff is good to have.. just like in hard water. you will need more precise information to make an educated decisions, or you can test it out with one plant for an entire grow -- important in case of slow buildup to observe for a long enough period of time. RO? reverse osmosis? people use it all the time. again, some fertilizers may expect you to mix with tap water, which is more often alkaline.. just make sure pH and such comes out. you may need some additional Ca, Mg, Fe or even Cl, but it's not for certain... you'll ahve to watch and see.. your fertilzer labels will be of great use to make a good guess.

IMO, too much effort to make "heavy" water usable for plants. I have an RO machine, and just throw the waste water on the grass. I also have 2 final filters. One to demineralize, and one to add the right amount of cal-mag, to improve taste.

Hello Rodi water is ok for plants but you'll need to add nutrients back in, especially the micronutrients. Rodi filtration removes all those minerals etc that are common to people using tap water etc. So watch for deficiencies.
