Clean, pure water is a priority for almost all fish and plants. No equipment is more effective in helping create ideal water conditions than Reverse Osmosis (RO) units. These units filter out up to 99% of chemicals found in tap water by forcing tap water through a semi-permeable membrane. Our RO membranes are manufactured in The USA by Dow and have independent certification by the NSF. Now that our water authorities are replacing chlorine with chloramines as disinfectants, we should be particularly concerned about the well-being of our fish and marine invertebrates.

• Chloramine is toxic to fish, amphibians, and water-based reptiles and marine invertebrates. Chloramine enters directly into the bloodstream of fish, and amphibians through gills and skin, respectively.
• Chloramine must be removed from the water with a GAC (granular activated carbon) filter followed by reverse osmosis or Cation filter. Note: The GAC filtration filters out only the chlorine from the chloramine molecule leaving the ammonia behind.
