Why should I remove chlorine from my garden?

Chlorine is designed to kill living organisms, such as bacteria, that can contaminate your water source. It does such a great job of killing these organisms that it can be harmful to your plants, because your plants rely on some of the very same bacteria to survive.

Organic farmers and gardeners have known for years that a very effective way to protect their plants and the environment from insects, disease, and pests is through the use of beneficial bacteria. The healthier a plant is, the more likely it is to resist pests and disease. Highly chlorinated water can kill microorganisms in the soil that are there to protect the plant and help produce the plant's source of food.

The Gard'n Gro is specially designed for the garden, not as a drinking water filter. Its filtration media effectively removes chlorine from your garden water, but it is not designed to remove particulate matter or other water contaminants.
