why use filtered water ?

WHY USE FILTERED WATER?

•Pure base = Ideal feed formula that gives plants exactly what they want

•Increased nutrient uptake and less chance of lockout and deficiencies. Less nutrient and salt build up

•Remove minerals = Stabilize PH

•Removing unknown contaminants and toxins from plant tissue and fruits….. lead, mercury, pharmaceuticals, bacteria, etc.

•Organic growers, beneficial micro-organisms, higher quality and larger harvests.

Contaminant Which Filter Works Best?Reverse Osmosis Carbon & Sediment Filters

Chlorine & Chloramines ● ●

Sediment & Rust ● ●

Volatile Organic Compounds * ● ●

Removes 95% + PPM ●

Nitrates & Pesticides ●

Removes 98% + Bacteria ●

Hardness (Excess Calcium & Magnesium) ●

Helps Stabilize PH ●

Iron, Sulfur & Fluoride ●

• Benzene - gasoline or oil spills on the ground surface or from leaking underground fuel tanks.• Dichloromethane - industrial solvent• Trichloroethylene - used in septic system cleaners • Tetrachloroethylene - dry-cleaning industry.

Reverse Osmosis

• Removes 94-99% of PPM

• Produces the purest water

• Slow flow rates – 4 to 30 GPH

• 3:1 drain to product ratio – why????

• Flow rate dependent on pressure, temp., and PPM - Rated at 60 psi (4 bar), 500ppm TDS municipal water, 77°F (25°C) -

• Higher start up and maintenance costs

Problem Water

• More than 10 grains or 170 PPM Hardness

• Excessive Iron or Hydrogen Sulphide (sulfur)

• Silica, brackish water, boron, arsenic

• Bacteria, Viruses, Cysts

FAQ – Reverse Osmosis

Q. Low flow from Reverse OsmosisA.Low line pressure, high PPM, improper setup, knowledge of RO

Q. Good flow at first and then a trickleA.Excessive minerals (hardness), iron, sulfur, high PPM, not changing pre-filters

Q. Good flow at first and then increased flow and high PPMA.Did not change carbon pre-filter when needed. City water users must change carbon pre-filter every 1,500 gallons of product water

Q. Well water vs. city waterA.Well water needs KDF85 or other pre-filtration like softener, city water needs carbon or KDF85. Water test important

Q. Waste to product water ratioA. 3:1 but depends on pressure, etc.

Q. Check PPM of product water to change pre-filtersA. incorrect. Pre-filters do NOT remove PPM, only membrane does

SELLING POINTS

Plant Problems? Lockout? Deficiencies? DO NOT offer band aids. Must start with pure base!

Increase in quality and quantity of harvests

Essential for organic growers and health conscious gardeners

Anyone who has used purified water will NEVER go back to tap
