Reverse Osmosis System for Aquariums | Josmose

Tap water is not always suitable for the fish in your aquarium to consume. To prevent your investment from going to waste because of an unsuitable water supply for your fish, the Aquarios reverse osmosis system from OJA SOLUTIONS improves your water quality. It is an essential device for aquarium enthusiasts because of its ability to reduce the concentration of nitrate and phosphorus in water. Our reverse osmosis systems are available at a very good price, so take a look at their specifications to make the right choice.

How does an aquarium RO system work ?

Pressure at the water inlet is the key factor for optimal operation of an aquarium RO system, since it is not equipped with a pump. Here is a more detailed look at how an aquarium RO system works.
The water that will undergo reverse osmosis passes through the compartments that make up the aquarium RO system via various tubes. This rather fragile membrane generally requires the water to undergo pre-filtration before being treated by the membrane. The pre-filtration device consists of a PP filter cartridge that acts as a filter for large particles such as sand and dust, and a second activated carbon filter cartridge. This filter cartridge traps fine particles and removes chlorine. The pre-filtered water is then directed to the aquarium RO system's membrane.
The pressure will then enable water molecules to pass through the membrane, which traps impurities. These are subsequently swept away by a stream of water that contributes to cleaning the aquarium RO system's membrane.

How do you choose the right RO system for your aquarium ?

Choosing the perfect RO system for your aquarium requires taking a few factors into account. These are mainly the technical specifications provided for each OJA SOLUTIONS RO system, which you should review before placing your order for an aquarium RO system.
The volume of water produced
If you are wondering how to choose your aquarium RO system, the first factor to consider is the volume or amount of water you will need to produce each day. This is particularly relevant to aquariums set up for daily water changes. RO water production capacity is expressed in GPD, or Gallons Per Day, which corresponds to the number of gallons produced each day. A gallon is a unit of volume used for aquarium RO systems, equivalent to 3.8 liters. Aquarium RO systems ranging from 75 to 150 GPD are available in our online store.
However, if you have a high-end aquarium, you can choose a 500 GPD RO system to produce a substantial amount of water. The time needed to produce a given volume of RO water depends on the flow rate. 

The quality of the water undergoing reverse osmosis

To choose the ideal aquarium RO system, you need to know certain details, such as the hardness of the tap water that will supply your aquarium. You also need to consider the NO3- nitrate levels in this water before making your choice. If you do not need extensive filtration, we recommend mixing the water you normally use with RO water.

The quality of the water produced by the aquarium RO system

The water produced by the RO system must also be suitable for your type of aquarium, in terms of the water quality it requires. A membrane that performs reverse osmosis on tap water must be protected according to the various substances it needs to filter. This involves several necessary steps during water pre-filtration.
For example, for reef aquarium owners, the quality of the water produced by the RO system must be impeccable. The reverse osmosis process must remove even the slightest trace of NO3- , unlike other aquariums that do not require such extensive treatment.

How do you connect an aquarium RO system ?

You must install the aquarium RO system near the water inlet, which, for greater efficiency, must have a minimum pressure of 3.5 bars. If the pressure cannot reach this level, you will need to add a pump to your RO system to boost it.
It is important to connect your aquarium RO system to a cold water supply. Connecting your RO system to a hot water supply will immediately damage the membrane of this reverse osmosis device. There are two connection options :
The first uses an RO system with a diameter that matches the diameter of your kitchen faucet.
The second uses an RO system that matches the diameter of your washing machine faucet.
In addition, you need to direct the RO system's outlets toward a wastewater receptacle during the first use of the device, with the flow rate set to maximum. This is an important step, particularly when you want to clean the filter cartridge containing activated carbon and the RO system as a whole. A compartment to store the filtered water is necessary, and the water produced must remain in contact with air to prevent it from becoming stagnant.
Once the aquarium RO system is fully installed, monthly maintenance and cleaning are recommended.
