July 25, 2015

changing filter media in RODI to purify tap water for salt water reef aquarium.All BRS RO/DI systems reflect the latest in reverse osmosis technology with updated filters, components and design updates.Value systems:Designed to treat for chlorine, low volume chloramine usage and most well water*. Value systems are compact, portable, upgradeable and most importantly affordable.Universal systems: Designed to be best in industry filtration for chloramines, chlorine and well water as well as cover the widest array of contaminates. This is the ideal solution if you simply want to know you have the best filtration available. (http://cdn.bulkreefsupply.com/media/wysiwyg/PDFs/pdf-image.jpg)BRS 6 Stage Universal RO/DI System InstructionsThe standard BRS Universal system model is the most affordable solution that treats for virtually every water treatment concern for the reef aquarium and is completely upgradeable for the future.6 Stages of Filtration:* GE ROSave.Z 1 Micron Depth Filter (http://cdn.bulkreefsupply.com/media/reverse_osmosis/nsf.jpg)

However, if these alternatives are not sufficiently pure, distilled water is used. Where exceptionally high purity water is required, double distilled water (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_distilled_water) is used.Distilled water is also commonly used to top off lead acid batteries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_acid_batteries) used in cars and trucks. The presence of other ions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ions) commonly found in tap water will cause a drastic reduction in an automobile's battery lifespan.Distilled water is preferable to tap water for use in automotive cooling systems. The minerals and ions typically found in tap water can be corrosive to internal engine components,
