AquaFX Discus 3-Stage RO Light-Commercial 500 GPD System
Massive Water Production. Zero Booster Pump Required.
Meet the all-new AquaFX Discus—a game-changing, light-commercial Reverse Osmosis system engineered to deliver a mountain of pure water FAST. Striking the perfect balance between standard residential setups and massive commercial rigs, the Blue Fin pumps out an incredible 500 GPD (Gallons Per Day) at standard household pressure without needing an expensive booster pump.
Hand-built in the USA by AquaFX, this 3-stage powerhouse is specifically engineered to target and eliminate harsh chlorine. It is the ultimate choice for large-scale hobbyists, reptile breeders, small-to-medium freshwater aquarium stores, and high-volume drinking water or commercial coffee brewing applications that require an endless supply of pristine water.
Why Choose the AquaFX Discus?
- Pumps 500 GPD on House Pressure: Achieves full 500 GPD capacity at standard 65 PSI—saving you the cost and hassle of wiring in a booster pump.
- Double the Life, Half the Maintenance: Features massive 10" x 4" commercial pre-filters. This means more than double the capacity of standard systems, longer water contact time for absolute purity, and significantly fewer filter changes.
- Perfect for High-Volume Food & Beverage: Ideal for busy households, offices, restaurants, and coffee shops that need high-volume, bottled-quality drinking water and a clean, scale-free foundation for gourmet coffee and tea extraction.
- Pro-Grade Monitoring Built-In: Equipped with an integrated Backlit Dual-TDS Meter to check your water purity in real-time, plus a precision steel Pressure Gauge to monitor system health instantly.
- Smart Automation: Includes a built-in Automatic Shut-Off Kit, an adjustable flow restrictor, and a quick-disconnect check valve for seamless, worry-free operation.
The Heavy-Duty 3-Stage Filtration Process
The Blue Fin utilizes oversized commercial cartridges to systematically strip away chlorine, heavy metals, and dissolved solids:
- Stage 1: AquaFX Premium 1-Micron Sediment Filter (10" x 4") – An ultra-fine barrier that traps microscopic dirt, silt, sand, and rust to keep your system running crystal clear.
- Stage 2: AquaFX Chlorine Guzzler Carbon Block (10" x 4") – An oversized chemical-absorbing powerhouse designed to aggressively destroy harsh municipal chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bad tastes, and odors.
- Stage 3: AquaFX TFC 500 GPD RO Membrane (Made in the USA) – The heart of the system. Forces water through microscopic pores to reject up to 99% of total dissolved solids (TDS), heavy metals, and contaminants, delivering pure, chemical-free liquid gold.

Important Operational Notes:
- Output ratings are based on optimal conditions: 65 PSI, 77°F, and 250ppm TDS water input over a 24-hour period. Lower source pressure, colder water, or higher baseline TDS will reduce daily output. A high-flow booster pump with 3/8" fittings is highly recommended if your source pressure drops below 45 PSI.
- Retailer Note: If your store sells water directly to retail customers by the gallon, we recommend upgrading to our Blue Marlin or Blue Marlin PRO lines for rapid, continuous commercial production.
