Growmax Water Filters

What Are Growmax Water Filters?

Growmax water filters are a 2-Stage Water Filter. They're great tools to add to your garden. The filter helps your indoor garden by immediately eliminating 99% of chlorine, that can harm/kill beneficial microbes in the root zone, and reducing sediments, down to 5 microns.

What Do Growmax 2-Stage Water Filters Remove From the Water?

Growmax 2-Stage Water Filters remove the following from your tap water in a fast an effective way:

• Chlorine, sediment, dirt, rust, oxidation, herbicides and pesticides, volatile organic contaminants
• Chemical contaminants (Benzenes, Toluene, oils, THM's, detergents and PCB's etc.)

What Is The Throughput For Growmax 2-Stage Water Filters?

The Growmax Eco Grow 240 litre provides up to 240 litres/h, which is perfect for indoor plants and small patios. The Growmax Garden Grow 480 Litre is capable of supplying 480 litres/h, this is better suited to larger indoor, or outdoor gardens.

What Are The Benefits of Growmax 2-Stage Water Filters?

Growmax 2-Stage 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. This is so it's safe for human consumption. Using tap water untreated, is harmful to the beneficial microbial life (fungi and bacteria) in your plant's root zone (rhizosphere). It can affect or halt your plant's development, in both soil and hydroponic applications. The correct use of 2-stage filtered water eliminates this harmful effect, leading to faster growing, healthier plants.

Use a water filter to 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



Garden tip: 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. For a more detailed overview, contact to our in-store experts.




 




How Do I Use Growmax 2-Stage Water Filters?

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.




Filtering is a two-stage process



• Stage 1: Water passes through the 5-micron sediment filter, removing most unwanted visible solids.
• Stage 2: Water passes through a solid activated carbon block to remove: Chlorine, Benzenes, Herbicides, Toluene, pesticides, oils, volatile organic contaminants and PCBs.



GrowMax Eco Grow Water Filter removes:



• 99% of chlorine
• 90% of sediment particles above 5 microns



Installation Of GrowMax 2-Stage Water Filters
