2-Stage Water Filters
Growmax 2-stage water filters are great tools to add to your garden. The filter helps growers by immediately eliminating 99% of chlorine, that can harm/kill beneficial microbes in the root zone, and reducing sediments down to 5 microns.
Removes:
- Chlorine, sediment, dirt, rust, oxidation, herbicides and pesticides, volatile organic contaminants
- Chemical contaminants (Benzenes, Toluene, oils, THM's, detergents and PCB's etc.)
The Eco Grow 240 litre provides up to 240 litres/h, perfect for indoor plants and small patios. The Garden Grow 480 Litre is capable of supplying 480 litres/h, suitable for larger indoor or outdoor gardens.
Benefits of Using a 2-Stage Water Filter?
Water Filters allow you to purify your water, straight from the tap. Tap water is treated with Chlorine and Chloramine to disinfect it and keep it free from harmful bacteria for human consumption. Used untreated, tap water chemicals are harmful to the beneficial microbial life (fungi and bacteria) in your plant's root zone (rhizosphere). It can affect or halt your plants development in both soil and hydroponic applications. The correct use of filtered water can eliminate this harmful effect, leading to faster growing, healthier plants.
By using a water filter, you will see improved results:
- Stabilised pH with higher nutrient concentration
- Improved nutrient uptake, bigger plants with stronger roots & better fruits
- Healthier root zone with better environment for friendly microorganisms and bacteria
- Improved photosynthesis with reduced stress levels
- Fewer dissolved contaminants avoids issues with mineral deposits on lights and filters - better performance
- The filter unit operates with mains pressure to a maximum of 80 psi. Water pressures over 80 psi require you to fit a pressure regulator to reduce pressure to an acceptable level.
- Stage 1: Water passes through the 5-micron sediment filter, removing mineral ions (unwanted solids).
- Stage 2: Water passes through a solid activated carbon block to remove: Chlorine, Benzenes, Herbicides, Toluene, pesticides, oils, volatile organic contaminants and PCBs.
- 99% of chlorine
- 90% of sediment particles above 5 microns
NOTE: 2-stage water filters are not designed to reduce part per million (PPM) levels of dissolved salts/contaminants, like reverse osmosis units. If this is something you wanted to consider, you can either use RO water on its own or use it to dilute the PPM of filtered water to an acceptable level.

Using Growmax Water Filters
Garden tip:
Filtering is a two-stage process:
GrowMax Eco Grow Water Filter removes:
Simply install the inlet pipe onto a garden tap or faucet and connect to the filter inlet with the supplied 3/8" tubing.
You can now connect the unit to your garden hose using the outlet and another piece of 3/8" tube, alternatively, you can run the 3/8" tube directly to your garden.
Before using the filter system, you need to flush out any particulates by running water through the unit for 5 minutes.
