The presence of chlorine in tap water can pose a significant threat to your plants. While it is added to kill germs and purify water, it can result in sickly plants with yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and even death.
Filtering out this harmful chemical is a simple yet crucial step to ensure the health and thriving of your green friends. By removing chlorine, you provide your plants with access to pure and safe water, promoting growth and preventing stress. Additionally, filtered water helps prevent the buildup of chlorine in the soil, which can disrupt nutrient uptake. In short, filtering chlorine is a must for plant health and happiness.
This product easily attaches to your garden hose and is a must-have for organic living soil growers. It instantly removes chlorine and sediment, making it ideal for compost tea brewing. Moreover, it makes water safe for mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria. The 10" model treats 5000L of water, while the 12" model treats 8000L of water.
Instructions: For maximum filtering efficiency, use a flow rate of 2L per minute (THIS IS SLOW!!!). Make sure to connect the inlet to the correct end as marked. On first use, run the unit for 2 minutes to settle the filter contents. Store the filter in an upright position to allow the unit to drain between uses. Replace the Dr Greenthumbs water filter after 12 months of use.
Please note: Connect the hose to the end that has the ridge on it, so the flow is running the same way as the arrows on the filter. The flow direction is clearly marked on the filter if you are confused.
Please Note - These filters are not intended to be dragged around on the end of a hose; please use them to fill your container instead
