Tap Water Conditioner
NEW & IMPROVED FORMULA! Now in a smaller bottle for easier dosing.
Southside's Water Conditioner removes chlorine, destroys chloramines, detoxifies heavy metals, & buffers pH.
Is tap water bad for plants? High levels of chemicals (used by municipalities to treat water) can kill beneficial microorganisms in soil and damage plant roots. And some plants like dracaenas, ti plants, spider plants, prayer plants, calatheas, and carnivorous plants are just more sensitive to chemical exposure.
Heavy metals may be a concern if you get water from a well or other natural source. The average pH of tap water is 6.5 to 8.5. Plants prefer pH between 5.0-7.0. Our water conditioner keeps the pH in this range for healthy, happy plants.
Signs your plants need water conditioner: Look for poor growth, wilting, crispy brown or black leaf tips. While using our water conditioner, you may also notice plants growing taller & more robust because harmful chemicals are dissipated before thirsty roots absorb them.
