Purenex Aquagrow - Manual (Page 2)

In cold weather areas do not leave the filter permanently attached to an outside
source. Do not allow it to freeze. If the Aquagrow is out of use for an extended
period of time, we recommend running water through it once a month to keep
media wet and prevent oxidation. You may also store it in a refrigerator.
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid pressure build up in the unit do not leave an adjustable
nozzle in a closed position with the faucet turned on.
The Aquagrow garden filter cartridges should remove a minimum of 85% or more
of Free Chlorine for approximately 20,000 to 25,000 gallons. At a flow rate of 4
GPM you can expect approximately 83 to 105 watering hours.
Note: Some watering applications such as misters and soaker hoses will reduce
water flow even further. Reduced flow rates will extend your watering hours.
The chart below indicates some standard calculations at 20,000 gallons.
These are minimum projections. Actual performance could be 25% higher.
Filter cartridges should be replaced with a new pair of replacement cartridges
(Part #AQFI) at the end of your estimated watering hours or one year, whichever
comes first.
Chlorine levels vary across the country. If you live in an area where the source
water contains high levels of suspended solids or where scale build-up in pipes
is excessive, you may experience a reduction in water flow. This may be an
indication that you need to change the cartridge more frequently than the
estimated watering life.
Filter Media
KDF 55
The Aquagrow uses our enhanced form of KDF-55® as the dechlorinating media.
KDF® dechlorinates by creating a galvanic reaction, or electro-chemical
reaction, which cause two chlorine ions to combine with some prevalent metal
ion in the water such as calcium to form a soluble and harmless chloride which
washes out of the filter. KDF® does not hold chlorine, it changes chlorine from an
element into a harmless compound.
