Reverse Osmosis Aquarium Filter

Filed Under Aquarium Filter |

Aquarium filters will normally take out all the waste of your fishes and chemical contaminants. But by using reverse osmosis Aquarium Filter, your water will be 90-99% pure before it even reaches our Aquarium Tank.

So how does it help your aquarium setup?

When your water goes through the reverse osmosis Aqurium Filter, your Aquarium should have minimal algae growth, a steady pH level, and low phosphate and nitrate levels. So you are getting rid of excess algae nutrients that could lead to aggressive growth of algae in your tank. Without these unsightly algae growth, your tank will be crystal clear from the sparkling water.

Reverse Osmosis Aquarium Filter is especially helpful if your tap water is very high in heavy metals like cadmium and nickel or if you use well water that have loads of minerals like limestone causing it to be “hard”. Its removes all these impurities by forcing the water through a semi-permeable membrane.

A word of caution if you are building a fresh water Aquarium setup. As Reverse osmosis filtration removes practically everything from the water, even the nutrients for your aquatic plants and fishes will be removed. So you will have to add back the essential minerals by using a marine salt mix.

Now to check if your water is really of reverse osmosis quality, you have to test your water with a conductivity meter or TDS meter. Purified water will have a general hardness of 0 GH and alkalinity of 0 dKH.

The maintenance of a Reverse Osmosis Aquarium Filter is very minimal. Just make sure before you start using the aquarium filter, flush your whole aquarium setup with clean water. This will enhance the life span of the semi-permeable membrane within the Reverse Osmosis Aquarium Filter. Another tip is not to use hot water to run through the aquarium filter. As the semi-permeable membrane is very fragile, using hot water can damages the membrane.

Start using Reverse Osmosis Aquarium Filter and let your fishes have sparkling water that you can drink.
