• Installation of osmosis

  • Travis572

I want to install an osmosis auto-top-up system in a marine aquarium. Such an osmosis system already exists - it will be placed in the kitchen. I am considering several options for connecting the osmosis system to the aquarium, which will be located in the room. There is a possibility to lay the communications during the renovation. The first option: reverse osmosis in the kitchen, a thin tube (7-8 meters long) of osmosis laid under the laminate (on the floor) to the sump, and there either a float or an electromagnetic valve for auto-top-up. The second option: a pipe with mains water to (under) the aquarium, a separate reverse osmosis, in the sump, and the osmosis drain under the floor to the bathroom. The drain in this option is the weak point. I prefer the first option, does it have a right to exist? And what filters, how many, and in what sequence do you have to achieve approximately zero readings. Should such a set of cartridges + a resin cartridge be

This is not the same at all. If osmosis is only for the aquarium, then: 1. Mechanical filtration 10 microns 2. Mechanical filtration 5 microns 3. Carbon (aquarium, NOT the usual one). 5. Membrane. 6. Final purification with MB-50 resin (composite anion exchange + cation exchange). A good option.

3. Coal (the aquarium type, not the usual one). - where can I find a cartridge with the suitable coal? In our city, all the ones available are the regular type.

Probably take such a cartridge and fill it with the right aquarium charcoal.
