This video is 9 years old. The promotion is still legit 1/19/2022! Thanks!
I took notice of the water from the hose and rain water years ago. Told my hubby, plants seem to do lots better when it rains on them. Took me a bit to realize the hose water with clorine in it was hendering the growth. This past year is when I realized the treated water was killing off the soil microbs. Thanks or sharing John. Have a goodun
John, I ordered the Boogie Blue filter last year and have really seen the benefits. Thanks so much for getting us this discount. You rock, as always ! Also looking forward to planting the sun chokes I got from you...hope they do well here in South Texas.
more people need to know this, i started gardening last year and did not know about the chlorine thing till now…..chlorine kills needed fungi for rooting,,,,i always wondered why my roots are so thin…..im very excited about this knowledge….
John, you are priceless. You always have the answers to problems I didn't even know exist and woolah, I get the answers upfront. Love and appreciate yoiu.
We got our Boogie brew filter the other day.Really nice people and fast delivery. Thanks for the suggestion.
Never too late to start gardening, just ordered a boogie blue filter!🌿💚
thank you John!! I've been thinking about filtering my hose water but hadn't gotten around to it
Just got my first Boogie Blue Plus filter! Thanks for the informative video.
Thanks for your response John, it's important to me to remove the fluoride and if my kid was ever to drink off of, thanks again for your honest reply!
John, just met Josh from BoogieBrew; amazing soul. As are you - with your drive to eat naturally. KUDOS!! Thank you for the referral. Ordered the filter and the tea. Keep those veggies growing!! Danielle & Don
I bought mine for 55$ 2 months ago what an awesome deal john.I highly recommend the boogie blue water filter hands down the best filter in its price range a must have for any organic gardener I even use it for my animals water or to rinse my fruits and veggies.
100s of videos online this is one of the few that mentions inline water filter. Great Job! Thanks for the link to Boogie water filter. Just placed an order
I've been growing for 13 years, and just recently started using treated water for my plants. With few exceptions, every plant is loving life a lot more. I'm generally old school, but as my wife and I are up to 5 aquariums in the house, I've spent hundreds of hours researching and implementing microorganism cultivation and treating water (because fishkeeping is really just water-keeping). Carrying that knowledge (and aquarium waste-water, of course) into my greenhouses and gardens, there is just no comparison. Tap water was killing off the beneficial bacterial populations in my containers. It's so ridiculously obvious to anyone who has used both tap water and clean water for a decent amount of time. Maybe someday I'll run a comparison experiment, but for *me* I don't need to because most of these plants are the same species, or same plant, I've been growing for more than a decade and I know when it's doing well.
I could also write pages about how this same knowledge has benefited my health because my gut bacteria was so out of whack that 4 years ago an ounce of milk in my coffee would lay me out for a day and now I butter my toast like it's my last meal.
But back to the plants - last fall I started using aquarium waste water for my plants, and of course they flourished. Some of them I didn't want to have the extra N, so I just used the treated water, still boomed.
Bacteria is EVERYTHING. There are 100 Trillion bacteria in our guts. That's 5000x more bacteria than there are stars in the Milky Way. By population of cells (not size) humans are more bacteria than we are human! Of COURSE that carries over to plants and nutrient uptake.
The only thing I want to throw out, not as much as a disagreement but as an experience, I've had most of the same positive effects using aquarium water treatment (Seachem Safe, Seachem Prime, API Tap Water Treatment) as filtering. I think a $12 bottle of Safe costs $12 or so and treats thousands of gallons. So if you're iffy on whether or not you'll see any kind of benefit from removing chlorine/chloramine from your water - go spend $12 and see for yourself.
@Thomas John No. Reverse osmosis is required to remove chlorine and chloramine, and their removal isn't a super-high priority when it comes to caring for outdoor plants. I can't argue with the system's purpose: utilize pressurized water feed through a filter for decent water flow of medium-purified water onto your plants with the addition of a compost infuser - that's a great idea. Unfortunately the idea falls apart when you look at other aspects. The filter claims to work for 10K gallons and that's complete nonsense. Carbon filtration is okay, but carbon filtration is the third part of a 4-part water filtration system (large particulates -> small -> carbon -> RO) or the third part of your standard Brita filter - which is basically what this is.
The Good Idea (that this is): you know those in-line filters that people use on hoses for car washing? Let's make one for plants.
Where It Falls Apart: the car-washers are concerned with removing particulates (easy) and not chlorine and chloramine (hard, not achieved by an in-line filter of that size, not a huge priority for outdoor plants, and you'll burn out filters so fast that unless they're $0.50 apiece there's better ways to spend your time and money for growing.)
The compost tea infuser is a good idea, but fertilizer attachments for hoses have been around for a long time and rightly so because they're actually very useful. CRF (controlled release fertilizer) gets around needing fertilized water but it has a much decreased payoff for its much increased ease of use. Inline fertilization applies foliar feeding, doesn't over-distribute during heavy rain periods, and doesn't entice certain suicidal wildlife into eating CRF pellets (which is uncommon but happens).
So... inline filter for hose for plants: no. In-line fert attachment for hose: yes.
It DEFINITELY makes a BIG difference fo filter your water
John, a better test would be to compare garden water filters and test whether or not they actually take out chlorine and flouride. Hope to see this test.
Forget removing Fluoride with a filter. It's much more difficult to remove and takes a LOT of specialized filter media that is Fluoride specific
You do it
Well...I just bought this and hooked it up.. tap water reads 452ppm and after this boogie blue plus it reads 438. I was expecting at the very least to reduce to half.
I know it works, just taste the water once. Just how effective,,, who knows without lab testing. These are fine for plants. Never had a problem with my compost brewing. Clean buckets and hoses are important.
Getting mine. I have been searching for a filter since the last Boogie Brew offer(which I bought), but I didn't want to shell out $50 Plus shipping. Thanks John.
Just ordered :-) kindly keep on working on good deals for the benefit of all. Thanks John.
Just ordered mine :) And yes I had tried to collect rain water too but need to get a bigger barrel for it.
I noticed when using hose water my plants just do not thrive and the leaves turn a yellowish color. Thank you for this great info... to save my plants.
Perfect timing...I've been thinking about ordering a couple of these but the price always made me pause. Also, your tip to add an extra bit of hose is very useful and I would not have thought of that myself..thank you!
John, what is good non toxic hose to use with the filter? I see ones made by Bayer Science Company which is a sister company of Monsanto--advertised as urethane without lead or mercury in the metal end part but really considering the source can it be trusted
I use RV/Marine drinking water hose. Like Camco or TastePure. It’s a year late, just sharing
Never thought about tap water hurting micro culture, thanks for the vid
Thanks for doing all the work on finding things we need to grow great!!! Love it
I heard you say you use a water filter for your house too, I'm curious to know what system you use for your drinking water filter system. Your gardening videos are very informative and I learnt quite some good information from them, thanks!
It appears that the primary media in that filter is the KDF media, which is similar to the filter in this video, so effectiveness should be the same. Yes, the build quality is better, but is that worth 2.5 the cost? Only you can decided.. I would rather get 2.5 Boogie Blue filters..
Thanks John for the informational video as usual. Boogie Brew people (Josh) sure are friendly and a good company to support! Thanks from New Jersey!
I have hard water and it once left a really tough rust stain in my shower. Bleach would not do anything to it and it seemed like you could scrub it for hours and get no where. For that sort of rust stain I like acidic rust removers that specifically say that they contain either hydrochloric or preferably hydroflouric acid. They are both very nasty in their own ways but the ones containing hydroflouric acid just cut right through the rust stain in a similar way to spilled bleach ruining a favorite shirt.
Now for outside the house for washing my car, I am considering a filter for the hose. I don't use waxes anymore on my car but I have gotten to like nano-coatings, in particular the ones that just spray on and rinse and are good for 3 or more months. They are like having Rain-X all over the whole car that is how well they repel water. On my next trip out of the house I am going to see if I can find a filter that attaches to the garden hose or one I can adapt to it without much difficulty. I don't notice mineral build up on my car as it is and it is a dark blue color 06 Jetta. I just like to keep it shiny.
Awesome Video for My Moms New Garden! Thanx
Boogie Brew advertises it as removing chloramine. I personally am skeptical on its ability to remove chloramine from personal research I have done and If I had chloramine in my water I would get a different filter.
These little filters cannot do much with that little carbon and to remove chloramines takes special catalytic activated carbon. If it has KDF it's even less effective for chloramines.
Thanks 🙏
Oh! and Thanks bunches!! Just bought the filter for the hose outside!! You rock!
The filter should be stored wet, so as to maintain the carbon's porosity-structure and the copper-electrolysis signal. We've been using one for two years and love the quality of tea that we get from it. The filter is manufactured by "Pacific Sands" and sold under different labels, like "Eco-One" etc. While the chloramine scrubbing capabilities of the BB Filter are less than perfect, we've been satisfied with its results and we feel it represents an excellent cost-to-performance ratio.
very happy with my boogie blue plus+ water filter!!!
quick question though: can i keep the filter attached to my hose throughout the garden season for quick and easy access and convenience???
Absolutely
What kind of water filtration system would you recommend for a raised bed sprinkler system? The raised bed sprinkler system is not connected to our outdoor faucets, it's connected to our lawn sprinkler system. I'd also like to know about the filtration system you use for your indoor water. Thank you for your videos!
Thrilled to watch this video! Thanks for all the insight and information 😀
I bought the boogie blue based on your recommend. Im on Highly alkaline 830 PH.....with TDS at like 450.........when i ran the hose with boogie blue ...i stil got high TDS
filters like that do not remove minerals. they usually break down the chlorine. sometimes they even increase tds. it is basically a shower filter.
For bottled water it's best to just buy Distilled. That way you know it's not just re-bottled tap. Very small pinch of traditionally harvested sea Salt will put some minerals back in. Trace amounts.
It's fun to see the water in North America is so bad a lot of people only drink bottled water :) Here in Europe I rarely (not even yearly) buy bottled water. It's all good here :) I feel sorry for you
Hi John, Thank you for the information.
Do you test the water after you install the filters?? I see a lots of filters around but how you know the filter is doing the job?
Thanks for all your hard work .
rain water has pollutants too and also washes the pollution off the surface of where you collect the water via roof or rain gutters ..etc. you can make a gravity feed rain water barrel with the hose attachment and still use the water filter.
Dear GYG'ers: We have received many requests concerning the status of your filter orders. For those of you who ordered from the 6th to 9th of March, we are sorry to report that we have to wait until the week of March 23rd before we can ship out filters again. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you. The filter-manufacturer keeps back-ordering our next batch and we are helpless to do anything about it! Thanks for your patience and understanding!
I should add most water treatment plants don't use chlorine anymore. And yes any carbon block filter will work as long as the water flow is at a minimum. Most carbon filters don't work well if you push a lot of water through them. Did you hear the part about flow? I use both city water and rain water where I live and can't tell a difference on how my plants grow.
If your city uses chloramine, then what is the best filter? I've heard you need an activated carbon (GAC) filter + reverse osmosis (RO) to remove the resultant ammonia. Are there any point of entry (entire house) solutions which remove chloramine that are affordable? Is ammonia after filtration of chloramine a problem?
Me too
I picked up a charcoal filter at Walmart for $17 if I hadn't just bought one I would grab one of those Boogie deals!
great videos man!!! i'm doing my first gardens alone this summer and these will help alot. 5 in all, plus a green house. i very much appreciate your scientific/analytical view :) im going to try and watch as many of your videos as i can.
thanks!!!!
Thanks for the info, John. This sounds like a very effective way to filter the chlorine. Any ideas on how to know when its effectiveness is used up? I have no idea how to tell when I've used 35,000 gallons of water...
The flow of water slows way down.
Who pays your water bill lol ?
cali Kim! Omg lol good question! Gona watch your video on water filter next.😉❤
you can add a water meter at your nozzle or faucet w quick connect. I just thought about it after watching your comment. I just bought one on amazon waiting to receive it.
@@naturesvoice4890 Hi, did you receive the meter and can you please give a link? I hadn't thought of that and it's a great idea. How do you like it? Thank you for the info.
One left at Amazon with free shipping. Thanks John!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks for sharing, John - I ordered my Boogie Blue just now. Just what I needed.
Great! the KDF adds an anti bacterial agent to the water! I thought we were filtering that out!
Excellent!!!
Too cute, "gender changer operation" Your videos are really charming and helped me understand which type of filter would last the longest for my outdoor use. Thanks so much for sharing your skills and knowledge.
home depot is where I got mine. Also most irrigation supply stores.
Should be able to preorder it now. I just made an order for one using that link.
Hey John, if you have a whole house filter do you really need extra filters for your outdoor tap?
Great deal, John. I just ordered my filter from Boogie Brew.
Boogiebrew is the best period!!'
John, thank you for the info. You have answered so many of my questions. And now I have another one. I'm looking for drinking water filters, any suggestions? Please? Thank you so much for all the information you give so freely.
Dear GYG'ers: Recently, we received large numbers of orders for filters & other products. We apologize for the delays and out-of-stocks. Products became back-ordered FAST! To compound matters, some of our suppliers failed to ship new items in a timely fashion; leaving us unable to re-stock in time to satisfy the demand. We are now restocked with strong inventories on everything except filters, which will be in soon!! We have caught up with orders and deeply appreciate your patience!
North Jersey purchaser here! :)
Do plants and trees filter the water or at least convert it to something less bad?
Thanks for the tip John, I just ordered mine.
Can you use this for indoor gardening? Our waters to hard and been hauling jugs.
I have well water and my outdoor water goes thru a water softner....should i use the Boogie Blue Filter?
Thank you sir- just ordered one 👍🏽
Can i use this for a spotless wash in my mobile detailing van using a pressure washer
I'm trying to find the same thing. The calcium where I live is horrendous!!!
i got started with drip bc of one of your vids and soon after got a chlorine filter at your recommendation! 😊 Looking to replace the one I currently have and I need the best quality for the $$. I'm on a tight budget. When I'm looking at my options, Should I go for a filter with 1micron pore size? Or 5 microns? Or 20? I live in a Houston suburb so the waters decent but by no means great or good. Please advise!
Would it not make more sense to put the filter at the end of the water hose(attaching the spray nozzle to the filter) to filter the chemicals out of the water hose? .
Well, this also prevent the water from staining my car? Because I have a sprinkler that my community put in right next to my car and it’s turning green.
We all need to learn about Plastics with a Petroleum oil base... Let's think of Hemp oil based Plastic Bottles... GREEN vs Poison if you leave it in a hot car and the elements transfer to the water from the plastic... Look it up, I don't know details because I forget and well ain't looking it up till I go across that part of life again to refresh...
Do you have a tutorial how to put it on the drip system too?
Good info
KDF filters can get rid of chlorine but NOT chloramine unless it is exposed to the filter for extended duration (which it would not be in this application). As far as I'm aware, all of California and many parts of the US use chloramine now instead of chlorine (they switched because chloramine doesn't evaporate)
Thanks for this! I will be ordering! Do you think rain water from a rain barrel is a safe way to water your plants? Ours runs off the roof. Rain water seems to make the plants grow so much better.
funny im in the midst of installing a whole house water filter system, the tank just to filter fluoride alone (just the floride) is 5 feet tall 12" wide cylinder that uses an expensive bone char media to extract the fluoride, its good for 400k gallons...fluoride is wicked hard to remove, it's like taking water out of water...
would the same thing apply to your lawn? you want to filter out the chlorine?
I ordered the last deal you got for us thank you! Ill order tomorrow morning! Thank you ! :)
Is this water safe to drink, ie does it remove enough stuff for humans to safely drink the h20 and replace buying bottled water or having a sink filter
Aquasana does sell a Whole house water filter that filters Chloramine. It filters out 86% of the Chloramine. I have this filter and have tested it. It is not cheap. It costs about $1000. Just remember to filter Chloramine you must use an activated carbon filter.
u da man! thx for your spirit!
just ordered one through your link :)
Well most cities are putting Chloromine along with Chlorine in water now. My city water from Detroit is 190PPM I run it through a de-chlorinator when doing microbes / organic gardening. My meter only goes to 100PPM so im sure its way below that. So basically its a must to filter.
Wish these shipped to Australia :( Lucky US GYG viewers!
me too. i haven't found any products over here to filter water for organic gardening! you?
How about installing distillation system instead filter? With that you get pure H20 and get rid of all impurities.
If the cheaper filter only filters 1.5 gal per minute, it must be the same for both filters. If you operate it faster than that does it slow down the water or pass more water through without filtering ?
You are good..nice video..but my water comes from a well close to the ocean and is brackish salty I love to grow my own vegetables but this is going against the process.???? what to do?
I have a tank I can fill with town water and let it sit a whole before using to water garden. Thinking the chlorine would lose its effectiveness making it safer? Am I wrong about this? (I've been wrong in my life once or twice... lol) 😁
Sit a "while"... won't let me edit...
The water that you're filtering is it safe for Wildlife and Fish
Boogie Brew does not ship promptly. You can expect to wait up to two months for your order. Not a good thing when you are gardening.
I wish us Canadians could get these deals, heck... I wish we could just get the boogie brew blue.
South Jersey purchaser here! =o )
just ordered 3 ! : ) Thanks for the good info !
My municipality uses chloramine rather than chlorine. Will this filter work for chloramine as well?
If i moved to a new house how would i deal with cleaning dirt? I mean i dont know what prev owner used in there dirt what would be process to get the dirt ready for edible plants and or for trees with edible fruit already in the ground?
I have always used the boodie blue filter for my garden and farm animals but I have never received any tea I am bummed.
Thanks so much!!!
Do you have any cheaper alternatives cuz this product is 60+ dollars now
Any update on water filtration? We have chloramines and fluoride in our city water.
relocate
Hell yea man thanks
