Description:
Don’t give your plants unfiltered hose water! This
TALLBoy
filter unit is rated at up to 99% chlorine
removal @ 2GPM flow and cleans up to to 90% of the sediment particles above 5 microns.
This
filter is not designed to significantly lower the Parts Per Million (PPM) of your water.
The majority
of the PPM of your tap water is minerals which can only be removed with Reverse Osmosis.
Having chlorine and sediment free water is essential to growing healthy plants and maintaining
beneficial micro-organisms, bacteria and fungi in your root zone and growing medium. These
microbes cannot survive in the presence of chlorine. Chlorine free water is also essential for
organic compost tea brewing and any bio-organic gardening method. The
TALLBoy
is also a
great high capacity pre-filter for any
Stealth-RO
.
Special note on chloramines:
Chloramines are a disinfecting agent that is being added by some cities to the water supply in
place of, or in addition to, chlorine. They are a much more stable form of chlorine and do not
dissipate from letting the water be exposed to air or bubble out with an airstone. They cause the
same damage to all living things as does chlorine. Manufacturers of carbon block filters, such
as the one that comes standard with the
TALLBoy
, do not make specific claims for chloramine
removal. If you are sure your water supply contains chloramines, you can remove the majority
of them by upgrading the standard Green Coconut Carbon filter (
HL#22110
) to our KDF85/
Catalytic Carbon upgraded filter (
HL#22065
). It is a direct replacement and can treat twice as
much water as the standard Green Coconut Carbon filter. Inquire at your dealer.
