My town has recently started to receive water from a reservoir that is being treated with increased levels of chlorine (the extra chlorine was added to manage the presence of some harmless microscopic organisms).

Anyway, inside my home I can easily manage the additional chlorine with filter pitchers or, in the case of my aquarium, water treatment additives. Outside, however, is another story. I have my beautiful veggie garden, and I’m afraid of the damage I can do when I water it with that strongly chlorinated water.

Is there a filter of some kind I can attach between the exterior faucet and my hose so that I can avoid spraying my garden with chlorine? In my internet searching, I can’t seem to find anything.
Thank you – I appreciate the input and the links. Very helpful.

I actually have a rainbarrel I use to water my containers and annual beds. I don’t use that water on my veggies because it is coming off the roof and down the gutters, and therefore I’m not all that sure what it brings with it. All I know is I wouldn’t drink that water, so neither do I want to eat it on my veggies .

So I just need a solution for watering the veggies, and, again, I appreciate the links to the hose filters. Just what I was looking for!
