Envig Catalytic Carbon KDF55 Inline Garden Hose Filter with Flexible Hose Protector

Why do you need a garden hose filter?

A garden hose filter is easy to connect. It works perfectly as a pre-filter for a variety of water needs where chloramine can pose potential risks. It will remove chloramine that your RO filter will not remove for your aquarium. It can extent the life of your DI filter. It can restore splash fun and swimming pool enjoyment for people who are sensitive to chloramine. For hydroponic growers and organic gardeners who count on beneficial soil organisms from manure, compost tea and other organic fertilizers to work wonders in their gardens, it can provide protection against the damage chlorine or chloramine does on microorganisms and soil biology, and the resulting reduction in fertilizer effectiveness and garden production.

How to determine the removal capability of a filter?

Chloramine is much more stable than chlorine and thus much harder to be removed from water. Majority of the major cities in the US have chloramine in their water supply. At garden hose flow rate, regular activated carbon does very little in the removal of chloramine, even its capability to remove chlorine is significantly discounted. Catalytic property is the major indicator of removal capability.

How is our filter different?

Catalytic carbon is specially manufactured to enhance its catalytic property. Higher catalytic property means better capability in both chloramine and chlorine removal. Our filter is tested to have 10 times more catalytic property than regular activated carbon. KDF-55 is added to further remove chlorine and heavy metal, and to extend filter life.
