Water Conditioners

What are water conditioners?

Water conditioners are products used to prepare water for gardening applications. Depending on the formulation, they may be designed for treating tap water, conditioning irrigation water or preparing water before adding nutrients. Always follow the manufacturer's directions for the specific product you are using.

They can be used in a range of growing methods, including soil, coco and compatible hydroponic systems.
