Flow Diagram: The following describes the flow diagram for a 7 Stage Reverse Osmosis system with DI and Ultraviolet light. 1) Using a saddle valve, you tap into the water source. 2) The source water flows through the 1/4″ tubing to the first pre-filter. 3) The water passes through the sediment filter, then to the […]
Flow Diagram: The following describes the flow diagram for a 5 stage Reverse Osmosis system with a DI filter. 1) Using a saddle valve, you tap into the water source. 2) The source water flows through the 1/4″ tubing to the first pre-filter. 3) The water passes through the sediment filter, then to the carbon […]
Answer: Color changing DI resin has a water soluble dye that will change its color and thereby yield a general indicator when the resin is exhausted (depleted). We offer both color indicating (i.e., Color-Changing) resin, and non color indicating resin (Nuclear). They are identical resins except for the dye. Bear in mind that the color-changing […]
Answer: Demineralization by Ion Exchange. DI is a mixed bed of resins which attract ions, salts or minerals and can entirely remove the metals and salts from your water. If your Reverse Osmosis system removes (95 – 98 %) of the minerals and salts, then you could follow it up with a D.I. cartridge or […]
Answer: DI Cartridges and In-line DI Filters: Deionization removes ions (heavy metals or salts) dissolved into the water. RO membranes: Membranes remove bacteria, virus, metals, salts (ions). Carbon Filters: Carbon block filters absorb chlorine, chemicals and filter particulate matter. Sediment filters: Sediments filter out particulate matter only. The top quality water purification system is built […]
Background Reverse osmosis deionization units (RO/DI) are essential in the successful management of a reef tank. These units provide ultra pure water for a stable, predictable reef environment. The purified water allows the reef aquarist to determine and add only the essential trace elements and other essential nutrients to the water without any other unwanted […]
Background Soluble chemical compounds, when dissolved in water, become ionized; that is, their molecules dissociate into positively and negatively charged components called ions. Consider common table salt, sodium chloride. In its solid form, this compound consists of one sodium atom (Na) and one chlorine atom (Cl) tightly coupled together (NaCl). When dissolved in water, however, […]
