Chlorine is added to municipal tap water as a disinfectant to treat the presence of bacteria or viruses in the water. While this is a good thing to prevent people from getting sick, the chlorine may affect the taste of the water. New research has shown that the effects of chlorine may also be affecting your plants.
While most people can buy a water filter to make their water taste better, how do you stop the chlorine from affecting your outside plants, like your garden?
The effects of chlorine on your garden
Chlorine can negatively affect your plants by changing the natural microbial balance of your soil. This can affect nutrition and plant growth. An unbalanced soil microbiome can also affect other parts of your garden, like water retention and the community of organisms living below ground. When your soil is not healthy, the good bugs, who help with pest control, may not be present. This may lead to an increase in the bad bugs, who destroy your plants.
So how do you get the chlorine out of your hose water?
Aquagrow Water Filter for Garden Hoses
Watering your garden with dechlorinated water is super easy with the Aquagrow Water Filter. This hose water filter attaches to any garden hose and filters out the chlorine from the water. The filter is similar to water filters that most people use for their drinking water.
The Aquagrow Water Filter reduces chlorine that harms beneficial soil microbes. Healthy soil microbes are what your plants need to grow and flourish. Treating your outdoor plant life with the water it needs to grow will increase the size of your plants and give you a better harvest.
Healthier water will also benefit your pets and children. Once you attach the Aquagrow water filter to your hose, you can use this water to fill up your pet's water bowls and your kid's swimming pool.
Aquagrow Water Filter is so easy to use
I loved how easy it was to attach the Aquagrow Water Filter to my garden hose. Once I placed the filter on my hose, I began my cleaner water journey. I started with watering my garden, and then I filled up my rain barrel. As I was doing this, I started to think of other ways that I use my garden hose.
From filling up my hot tub to washing my car, I liked that I could use the Aquagrow Water Filter for these uses. The idea of soaking in a hot tub with filtered water sounded amazing.
Did you also know that organic carnauba waxes last longer on cars washed with dechlorinated water? The next time I wash my car, I will be using the Aquagrow filter.
