Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it lower the PPM of my water?
A: No. It is not designed to significantly lower PPM, because most of the dissolved content in tap water is minerals. Only reverse osmosis removes those.

Q: Why remove chlorine before watering?
A: Chlorine harms beneficial bacteria and fungi in the root zone and growing medium. Chlorine-free water also matters for compost tea brewing.

Q: What is the maximum inlet pressure?
A: The maximum inlet pressure is 80 psi. If your supply runs higher or has water hammer, use a pressure regulator upstream.

Q: What comes with it?
A: It includes an in-line shut off valve and 5 ft of 1/4 in feed tubing with a female garden hose connector.

Q: How do I start it up?
A: Turn the feed water on slowly so both housings fill completely. Once filtered water flows from the outlet tubing, open the water all the way.

Q: Is there a warranty?
A: Yes, it carries a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects.
