Making perfect de-ionized aquarium water.</div> <div> Filter resin changes colour when its time to replace cartridge, adapts to any tap in seconds.</div> <bR> <div> This is suitable for using with freshwater or marine tanks.</div> <div> When doing a water change, you connect one pipe to your cold tap and put the other pipe in your bucket, when full you are still left with tap water but without all the impurities.</div> <div> It's that simple.

This is a different process to simple purified water. </div> <div> This is suitable for using with freshwater or marine tanks.</div> <div> This unit would be permanently plumbed into your water mains, you then have 2 pipes coming from the R.O unit, one would lead to  your water container and the other to your drain.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="641" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 301 WIDTH="629"><div> So what is Reverse Osmosis?</div> <div> Osmosis in simplest terms is when pure water dilutes the mineral and salt rich water in order to equalize. </div> <bR> <div> Let's turn this around. Let's put pressure on the mineral rich water forcing it through the "cell wall" or "divider" to get pure water. That is reversing the process of osmosis as we know by nature and the basic principle of reverse osmosis.</div> <bR> <div> Reverse osmosis (RO) results in the purest drinking water possible. A membrane takes over instead of a "cell wall". The membrane is a dense material leaving only small molecular weight particles through, while the larger particles (salt, chemical/ organic compounds, impurities, bacteria, fungi, viruses, pesticides) are washed away.</div> <bR> <div> RO water can be used for marine and reef tanks as the salt mix provides all the essential minerals and salts needed. Straight RO water is not acceptable for freshwater as it lacks essential minerals and salts. You must add something like Kent 'R.O right' to adjust the water chemistry if you use RO water for freshwater tanks.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
