Last the instructions mentioned that you may have a slight reduction in pressure after installing the filter. With the tap water the reading was 38ppm and the filtered water 33ppm. Actually to my surprise there was a significant difference between the filtered water and the water straight out of the tap, given this benefit was not mentioned in the Gard’n Grow’s literature. To try to redeem myself a little more, given I had two cups of water I was sniffing anyway, I put my TDS meter (which for non hydroponic readers measures the total dissolved solids in the water) and though this does not measure chlorine specifically it does pick up various salts in the water.
So for my first test I went with the very scientific smell test and confirmed a huge difference between using the Gard’n Grow Garden Filter. Now to test this thing out, unfortunately I don’t have any equipment to test for chlorine, but given I am under city water I can smell the chlorine pretty easily. Attach your garden hose to the other end of the filter and turn on the water. You simply attach one end of the hose to your outdoor faucet and the other end to the filter. Though this year I always seemed to not have enough time (or foresight) to be diligent about this and ended up just dragging the hose out and watering the plants chlorine at all.įortunately our friends at AllFilters have a solution to this problem with the Gard’n Grow Garden Filter, by simply adding this small inline filter it can remove at least 85% of the chlorine in your water without needing to prefill or carry around heavy buckets.Īfter opening the package the installation process was a piece of cake.
