Compost Tea’s first enemies are the chlorine & chloramine compounds that are used in all municipal water systems as lethal sanitizing agents. While sterilizing water may be necessary for ensuring the public’s health and safety, such sanitization also bodes death for your soil and will ruin any chances of brewing an effective batch of beneficial biology in your compost tea. Thus, the need for a garden-friendly in-line chlorine filter that can be easily threaded onto any hose outlet.
The Boogie Basic is a great value in hose-mount filters: Featuring excellent build-quality with a 100% Activated Carbon block filter membrane, (no KDF material), theBasic is designed to perform capably with an approximate 10,000 gallon lifespan. While the lack of a KDF membrane does somewhat limit the Basic’s chloramine reduction capacities, it will still help to keeping your soil biology intact! The Activated-Carbon block possesses good all-around chemical reduction properties and functions as a first-line defense against free chlorine and heavy metals.
