HydroLogic GroGreen Garden Hose Filter - 11,000gal - Up to 2 GPM

HydroLogic GroGreen Garden Hose Filter - 11,000gal - Up to 2 GPM

The HydroLogic GroGreen Garden Hose Filter is purpose-built for growers who care about what goes into their soil. A customized flow restrictor ensures ideal contact time with the filtration media, maximizing the reduction of chlorine, sediment, rust, silt, mercury, lead, and PCBs. By protecting beneficial bacteria, the GroGreen Filter actively supports organic compost, soil amendments, and bio-teas - and it attaches directly to any standard 3/4in garden hose in seconds.

Key Features & Benefits

• 11,000 gallon capacity: Rated for up to 11,000 gallons of filtered water - approximately one year at 30 gallons per day.
• Chlorine and contaminant reduction: Removes chlorine, sediment, rust, silt, mercury, lead, and PCBs that can harm plants and soil biology.
• Protects beneficial bacteria: Chlorine-free water preserves the microbial populations that drive organic composting, bio-teas, and living soil systems.
• Customized flow restrictor: Optimized contact time with filtration media ensures maximum contaminant reduction at up to 2 GPM flow rate.
• Standard 3/4in hose connection: Attaches directly to any standard garden hose without additional adapters or tools.
• Compact dimensions: 3in L x 7in W x 14in H - easy to install inline between your water source and hose.

Who Should Use This

The GroGreen Filter is essential for organic growers, living soil cultivators, and anyone who uses compost teas, mycorrhizal inoculants, or beneficial bacteria in their growing program. Chlorinated tap water can significantly damage or destroy beneficial microbial populations - the GroGreen Filter ensures your water supports rather than undermines your organic inputs.

Compatibility

Fits standard 3/4in garden hose connections. Rated for up to 2 GPM flow, compatible with most household water pressures. Suitable for use with drip irrigation, hand watering, hose-end sprayers, and direct watering systems. Replace after 11,000 gallons or approximately 365 days at 30 gallons per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does chlorine in tap water matter for growing?

Chlorine is added to municipal water to kill bacteria - but it does not distinguish between harmful pathogens and the beneficial microbes in your soil, compost teas, or mycorrhizal inoculants. Filtering chlorine with the GroGreen Filter protects the living organisms that support healthy root development and nutrient availability in organic growing systems.

What contaminants does the GroGreen Filter reduce?

The GroGreen Filter is designed to reduce chlorine, sediment, rust, silt, mercury, lead, and PCBs (organic chlorine compounds). The customized flow restrictor ensures adequate contact time with the filter media for effective reduction of these contaminants.

How long does the filter last?

The GroGreen Filter is rated for 11,000 gallons of capacity, which equates to approximately 365 days at a rate of 30 gallons per day. Replace the filter cartridge when capacity is reached or when flow rate noticeably decreases.

Does the flow restrictor slow down my water pressure?

The GroGreen Filter is rated for up to 2 GPM flow. The flow restrictor intentionally limits flow to ensure adequate contact time with the filter media for maximum contaminant reduction. For most hand watering and drip applications, 2 GPM provides a practical and effective flow rate.
