• Distillate instead of osmosis

  • Caroline1599

At work, there is an electric distiller VPE(PC-12)-7.5. If I take water from it for the aquarium, what parameters should I monitor? Or is osmosis preferable?

Amber1273

I work with distillate. The control is the same as with osmosis. The only difference between them is purity. While there may still be some impurities in osmosis, there are none in distillate.

Christine864

I mean, do they check TDS in osmosis? And distillate for any impurities? Or if there are no contaminants, then there's nothing to control? And it's clear that water in the aquarium needs to be tested. What about the copper parts in the distiller? Where shouldn't they be?

Christopher3770

I was just talking about TDS, in the distillate TDS is 0, in osmosis it may slightly differ from 0.

Christopher1774

There is copper in the distillate!

Isn't it easier to run something through resin and sleep peacefully?

Cynthia6578

It would be good to run it, but it still needs to be checked afterwards!

Christine

But does the resin seem to remove residual mineralization, or does it also affect copper? I found out that in the distiller, all the stainless steel copper seems to have no source.

Stainless steel is good, but run some distillate and test it on copper, and then you will know with confidence what to do and how.

Cheryl

Distillate only in theory H2O copper is quite taken from the same heating elements (especially the current Chinese ones) and a lot of other things come out, especially if the distiller is for general use and its maintenance is done sporadically.

I didn't even think about copper, even though I've been distilling for quite a while. Damn, this could be the reason for my recent loss.

Please work on this link. It will likely provide an answer to the question of why some undesirable elements that affect the life of invertebrates may be present in the water extracted from the distillate of stainless steel. Apparently, the reason for the death of some of them lies in this...
