HydroLogic GroGreen Garden Hose Water Filter. 2 GPM, 8,000 Gal

What the HydroLogic GroGreen Garden Hose Water Filter Pulls Out Threaded onto the bib, this sits between a municipal line and everything the hose feeds. Green coconut carbon works on chlorine, taste, odor and volatile organic compounds, while KDF55 covers heavy metals and stops bacteria colonizing the media. A built-in restrictor holds the flow at 2 GPM, and the cartridge carries 8,000 gallons before replacement. Why an Eco-Friendly Garden Hose Filter Restricts the Flow The restrictor is the part people misread as a defect. Carbon works on contact time, and a wide-open bib drives water past the media faster than adsorption can happen. Both medias are eco-friendly by the vendor's own description, in a recyclable housing that is replaced rather than refilled. It will not move your PPM, though, since dissolved salts pass straight through carbon and KDF. Hard or sodium-heavy source water is a job for reverse osmosis instead. Key Features Green coconut carbon and KDF55: Carbon for chlorine, taste and organics, KDF for heavy metals and bacterial growth inside the cartridge. Restricted to 2 GPM on purpose: Contact time is what makes carbon work, so the restrictor is doing the filtering as much as the media is. 8,000 gallon service life: At the rated flow that is roughly 66 hours of continuous watering before the cartridge is finished. Brass filter saver connector: The hose bib fitting comes in the box rather than being sold separately. Recyclable housing: The body is replaced rather than refilled, and the plastic is recyclable when it comes off the bib. Leaves PPM and EC alone: Nothing here touches dissolved salts, so feed charts and runoff readings stay where they were.
