  • Page 2: Our Mission

    Our Mission Durability, Reliability, Efficiency, Purity, and Conservation form the foundation on which we design and build all of our products. Consistent and superior quality sets us apart from other manufacturers and increases our value to you - our customer. Whether you are a hydroponics hobbyist, serious enthusiast, or large-scale gardener, GrowoniX is committed to bringing you the best solution for water purification systems. Why use a GX Scrubber Chlorine, Chloramine and Chloride are but a few of the chemicals added to municipal water sources to kill harmful bacteria in our drinking water. This chlorine in low doses may not harm humans, but will kill beneficial bacteria and micro organisms essential for healthy plant growth. Our Lil’BOSS/Lil’BOSS Deluxe de-chlorinator will eliminate 95% of the chlorine in the water, and 90% of the sediment. Chloramine, a mix of chlorine and ammonia, used as a disinfectant, is being applied more and more to local water supplies because of it inability to evaporate when left in the air. Chloramine will not evapo- rate. To eliminate chloramine, a special KDF filter is required for the Lil’BOSS/Lil’BOSS Deluxe which GrowoniX or your local dealer can supply. Ask for the GrowoniX KDF filter. The GX Scrubber will not lower your parts per million or “ppm”. Only a Reverse Osmosis membrane can eliminate those particles. GrowoniX sells a complete line of Reverse Osmosis water filters from 100 gallons per day all the way up to 2000 gallons per day. You can see our complete product line at www.growonix.com. Flow rates and filter replacement The GX Scrubber can filter up to 8000 gallons of water before changing filters, based on 2 gallons per minute with 1ppm of chlorine. You may need to replace your filter more frequently if your water is heavily contaminated. Precautions • Do not use unit with inlet water pressure exceeding 80 psi. If inlet water pressure is too high, install water pressure regulator before the unit. Regulators and pressure limiters are available at www.Growonix.com or your local plumbing supply. • Keep unit away from direct light. Direct light can cause algae and other biologicals to grow inside of the filter housings.

    Information on quick connect fittings Growonix RO water filters use quick connect fittings that allow for easy maintenance. MAKE A CLEAN TUBE CUT Cut the tube squarely and if using plastic tubing, ensure that the cut has not made the tube out of round. Also ensure that the tube has a smooth outside diameter without any burrs or score marks prior to inserting it into the fitting. O-RING COLLET TUBING INSERT TUBE INTO FITTING Push the tubing through the collet and dual o-rings until it bottoms out against the tube stop. The collet holds the tube in place and the dual o-rings provide a leak resistant seal. TEST AND INSPECT Push and pull the tubing toward and away from the fitting to ensure that it has been installed properly. Test and inspect the installation for any leaks. TUBE REMOVAL Relieve pressure from the tubing and fitting. Push uniformly around the collet flange against the fitting body while pulling the tubing away from the fitting to release it.
