Accessories
Handheld
EC/TDS
Meters:
A
very
accurate
way
to
check
the
performance
of
your
water
filtration
system.
Regularly
checking
the
EC/TDS
can
help
detect
any
problems
with
early
membrane
exhaustion.
Checking
the
water
after
the
DI
cartridge
will
give
you
added
peace
of
mind
that
your
reef/salt
water
system
is
receiving
the
quality
of
water
you
need.
Note
that
de
‐
chlorination
alone
will
not
significantly
reduce
the
EC/TDS.
A
reverse
osmosis
system
is
required
to
drastically
decrease
this
value.
Membrane
Flush
Kits:
Flush
kits
are
used
to
extend
the
membrane
life
of
the
filter.
Membrane
Add
‐
on
Kit:
Installing
an
additional
membrane
to
your
existing
system
will
increase
your
units
output!
Storage
Tank(s):
Many
times
storage
of
water
is
needed
or
just
desired.
40
gallon
or
larger
food
grade
tanks
are
available
to
automatically
top
off.
We
can
design
tanks
to
your
needs!

Sediment
Filter:
This
filter
is
the
first
stage
in
the
de
‐
chlorination
process.
The
sediment
filter
effectively
removes
particles
and
sediments.
An
example
of
a
particle
that
would
be
removed
is
sand.
The
sediment
filter’s
life
depends
on
the
amount
of
total
particles
in
your
water
supply.
Discoloration
is
a
sign
that
the
filter
is
loaded
with
contaminants
and
should
be
replaced
with
a
new
sediment
filter.
Carbon
Block,
GAC
or
Chloramine
Blaster
Filter
:
These
filters
effectively
reduce
VOC’s
(Volatile
Organic
Compounds)
in
RO
water
systems.
The
federal
Safe
Water
Drinking
Standard
mandates
that
if
you
have
contaminated
drinking
water,
you
need
to
treat
it
accordingly.
The
most
cost
effective
way
to
predict
carbon
filter
life
is
by
measuring
the
output
in
gallons.
The
carbon
block
will
filter
3,750
gal
