Anyone know why it is not recommended to use the rinse water in the garden?

O3 might kill the beneficial biologicals in the soil, (not good) and will could interact with other chemicals and chemical compounds in your soil. Usually this is a bad thing.

Logically, it is supposed to clean the water, not the contents in it. You will get fresh water to wash the fruit with.

The water is most likely coming from a kitchen or bath faucet and should be safe, however if you connect a garden type hose to it, it's a question as to how safe or sterile the hose is.

No. You also have problem with water washing all Granular away when watering your yard. It is a waste of money.

Unfortunately you can't. Danby will spin a good tale and say the air is humid. You can call them on 1-800-263-2629. I did. Many times. They will refer you to a service agent who will say this is normal and advise you to run two pieces of garden hose from the drain ports to a bucket. The end result will be that they wash their hands of a very poor design and do nothing for you.I no longer use my unit as it's caused more damage to wooden floors that the unit cost.So, if you want to continue using it get some garden hose and a bucket. And good luck!

Sorry, Stephen, I do not know the answer to that. Since I don't use my garden hoses for drinking water, it wasn't a concern of mine. Perhaps contact the seller directly.

Please use with a drain, folks. Don't dump your soap suds into the environment.

i agree with the prevoius response. It is always preferred to have your water in the proper balance before use. You should try to maintain this throughou the season.

You may need to backwash. There may also be something (leaf, etc.) caught somewhere in the hose. Good luck!

I've used Vinegar water - with no issues. I've also used other solutions with no problems. As to why they don't recommend - you have to ask them, but I'm sure it's to cover themselves.

The packaging states that the product is for use in container gardens or hydrogardening applications. My belief is that this is because the product changes the Ph of the water or soil to which it is added. If I add much of this to a hydro reservoir, I must then adjust the Ph and this might be challenging if we are talking about the soil in your yard. If Ph isn't a concern, I would think this product would be safe to use on outside ornamentals.

It isn't a good idea. You should only use water or the filters will get clogged up.

The water doesn't "go" anywhere it needs to be changed periodically to prevent the water from growing mold or bacteria.

Just throw the whole thing in the garbage! The water has passed through many chemicals. I know it will kill plants; I don't know what effects it might have on your septic system.

The triple blade can be removed for cleaning, perhaps with a damp cloth or Kleenex, but I wouldn't rinse it under running water.

I use "Safer" brand insecticidal soap. I've heard that some people have success using a small amount of dish soap, but I've avoided those because I'm afraid they will be too harsh on the plants.

Correct. Get a large plastic tray from the garden shop and put under the seed tray. This way you won't waste water.
