The RO Membrane works by using water pressure to separate impurities from purified water. The RO Membrane is very effective at purifying water. It can remove up to 99% percent of over 100 contaminates.

The Sediment Filter is the first stage of your RO or RO/DI system.   The Poly Blown Sediment Filter is extremely efficient at removing particulates such as dirt, rust, sand, scale and salt. It is a very important stage of the RO or RO/DI System.

The Carbon Block Filter is the second stage of your RO or RO/DI System. The job of the carbon block filter is to remove many of the chemicals and organic pollutants that your RO membrane cannot remove.

If you have a saltwater fish-only or reef aquarium, you have likely been told how important it is to have ZERO TDS, pure water. Replicating ocean water parameters is a delicate task, so it is important to start with as pure of a water source as possible to minimize the chances of things going wrong. Having zero TDS water also helps to combat algae problems and nutrient issues. The DI (Deionization) fitler of your RO/DI system is what will get you that ultra-pure, ZERO TDS, water!
