MarcoVan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So depends on volume of water you are changing each time and frequency of water changes and most importantly if you are willing to spend, you can decide which suits you best. I have friends who use either of the two methods and have tok kong reef tanks. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Happy Reefing, Marc J.

RockyBoy Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I use few stages : 1) Sediment filter 2) GAC 3) Carbon blocks 4) RO membrane 5) Pressure tank storage From pressure tank, either goes to (6a) or (7a) 6a) Coconut carbon 6b) Tap water for drinking 7a) DI resin 7b) For aquarium use I put the whole setup under my kitchen sink. I have not changed the RO membrane for nearly 3 years as well as DI resin. The first 3 stage have to change regularly. Chlorine will kill the RO membrane, so if your carbon or GAC has been exhausted, chlorine will pass through and destroy the RO.

SRC Member Clement Chen Posted October 11, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2013 I have a diamond water purifier (energy water) for drinking water, is it ok to use that? They said they regulate mineral content. Filter A: Top notch ceramic filter, thoroughly filter out impurities like chlorine, dirt, rust and bacteria. Filter B: activated carbon & natural mineral stones remove organic contaminants, unpleasant odours & colours in the water, while regulate mineral content. Filter C: metal ion filter thoroughly removes heavy metals, chlorine and other chemical contaminates.Filter D: natural magnetic ceramic balls with natural mineral magnetic stones effectively break water molecule clusters into the smallest possible size.Filter E: natural mineral stones stabilises energy in the water to keep water molecule clusters at the smallest size for a prolonged period of time. Filter F: calcium ions helps balance the water to a mild alkaline level. http://www.diamond.com.sg/DiamondEnergyWaterSystem.html Quote Clem's Clam Corner (Decommed) 60cm x 40cm x 30cm Tank Nano tank reboot v2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member youdontnowm Posted October 11, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2013 Diamond confirm cannot be use haha i last time alao use diamond . Diamond have the mineral stone thingy, is to add minerals into the water. My alkaline has it too and tds is around 80+ Our body shouldn't evem be drinking distilled 0tds water as its very bad for our health. Long term can cause minerals deficiency wor Quote | Display : 48x30x22 Skimmer : SK-201 skimz | Sump : 30x24x18 Wavemaker : 2x RW-15 , 1x RW-8 | Cooling : 1HP titanium drop in coil ATO : JBJ | Lighting : ATI Sunpower 8x54w + 48x cree xte royal blue Return : Jebao dc-6000 | Dosing : Jebao dosing pump [ CaCl2 + NaHCO3 ] Pump : | Reactor : FSZ Z160 zeolite reactor & phosban 150 | System : ZEOVIT decomm-ed : Ydkm SPS reef >><< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Clement Chen Posted October 11, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2013 oh no.. ok then. den might have to invest in probably a DI unit Quote Clem's Clam Corner (Decommed) 60cm x 40cm x 30cm Tank Nano tank reboot v2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres also saying its good for weightloss , better immunity , detox. hahah Quote | Display : 48x30x22 Skimmer : SK-201 skimz | Sump : 30x24x18 Wavemaker : 2x RW-15 , 1x RW-8 | Cooling : 1HP titanium drop in coil ATO : JBJ | Lighting : ATI Sunpower 8x54w + 48x cree xte royal blue Return : Jebao dc-6000 | Dosing : Jebao dosing pump [ CaCl2 + NaHCO3 ] Pump : | Reactor : FSZ Z160 zeolite reactor & phosban 150 | System : ZEOVIT decomm-ed : Ydkm SPS reef >><< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
