Pond Filter, Car Washing Filter, Garden Filter, Pool Filter — Works anywhere you use a garden hose.

If you need an outdoor water filter to make chlorine-free water for your petunia bed or your dog's water bowl, to reduce the hardness in the water you use to wash your car or rinse your patio, or to remove the chemicals and chlorine from the water that fills your outdoor fish pond, here's the easy and inexpensive way.

Our basic garden-hose filter uses standard-sized (2.5" x 9.75") filter cartridges and connects to standard 3/4" garden hose fittings. You'll need two hoses — one to provide an inlet and a second to deliver the water to its point of use. The adapters are included as well as a mounting bracket in case you'd like to hang the filter on a wall or the side of a garden cart.

Suggested Applications

What the filter does depends on the cartridge you put in it. Here are some typical uses:

Car washing & spot free rinsing. You'll get an improved car wash if hardness is a problem, but we recommend that you read our discussion of the illusive “spot-free car wash” as well as our capacity chart for softening cartridges. (For greater softening capacity, see our Garden Hose Water Softener.)

Sediment filtration for removal of sand and silt and for cleaner, clearer water in general.

Chlorine, chloramine and all-around chemical reduction for plants & animals. To water your garden, fill your dog's bowl, or add water to your fish pond.

Remove iron from water for hot tubs and small pools. (Iron reduction is tricky and cartridge capacity is limited. We recommend that you read more about iron reduction or call for advice before purchasing.)

Raise the pH of acidic water.

Garden Hose Filter

An excellent and versatile filter for indoor/outdoor applications. Garden hose filters use any standard 9.75" x 2.5" size filter cartridge, allowing for a range of configurations for different filtration jobs. Carbon and catalytic carbon cartridges can be used for chlorine & chloramine removal for gardening and drinking water. Softening cartridges can be used to condition hard water for car washing and detailing. Sediment filters can be used as all-purpose dirt/sand pre-treatment for water-powered appliances and tools.

Each unit inludes the following:

Lead-free Brass Garden Hose Adapters (Installed)
Mounting Bracket with screws
A Filter Wrench

A filter cartridge is not included. It must be ordered separately. See suggested cartridge list below.

Double Garden Hose Filter

Double filters have twice the filtration capacity and the advantage of multi-purpose use. For example, placing a sediment cartridge in the first canister will protect the more expensive carbon block cartridge in the second canister from premature blockage from sediment. Double filters are especially valuable if you're removing chloramine, which requires longer contact time for removal. Two softening cartridges last twice as long as one.

Water Softening Cartridge

A water softening cartridge filled with standard cation softener resin. Frequently used for car washing and window cleaning. Works best at low flow rates.

Softening cartridges can be regenerated & reused by soaking them overnight in a salt solution.

(Please see our Softener Cartridge Capacity Chart and our Spot Free Wash information pages.)

Part # fc018

Calcite Cartridge

A calcite cartridge designed to raise pH and TDS of low pH / low mineral water.

Calcite raises pH to around a neutral 7.0. It is not to be confused with systems designed to produce unnaturally high or "alkaline" water. This cartridge should be followed by a carbon filter for best results, and flow rates should be limited to one gpm or less.

$24.00

Part # fc108

5 Micron String Wound Sediment Cartridge

A popular depth filter for normal sediment applications.

Depth filters are best when a variety of particle sizes are being filtered. Compared with pleated filters, they have a limited surface area, but the advantage of depth.
