Clear Filter Housings - Clear housings allow you to monitor the filters, namely the sediment filter that can darken as it fills up with sediment and the color change DI filter that will change color as it is exhausted.
Standard Sized Filters - We use industry standard 10" x 2.5" filters that are readily available at a large number of hardware and aquarium stores. We also strive to offer the highest quality filters at hard to beat prices! System comes with 1µ (micron) sediment, 1µ carbon block, and color changing DI filter.

Available Accessories
100GPD Membrane Upgrade- $10
100 gallon per day (GPD) membrane upgrade. Replaces standard 75GPD membrane with 100GPD Osmonics membrane that produces up to 4 gallons per hour.
*Actual production rate may vary
Auto Shut Off Valve Upgrade - $16
Recommended when using the system with a float or tank. Shuts the water to the membrane off when the float activates or the tank is full, eliminating unnecessary waste water.
4 Gallon Storage Tank - $44
Pressurized storage tank with ball valve for storing purified water. Capable of storing approximately 3.2 gallons of water, depending on water pressure. Comes with connection kit that includes T-fitting, tubing, & inline ball valve. An auto shut off valve is recommended when using a pressurized storage tank.
14 Gallon Storage Tank - $114
Pressurized storage tank with ball valve for storing purified water. Capable of storing approximately 10 gallons of water, depending on water pressure. Comes with connection kit that includes T-fitting, tubing, & inline ball valve. An auto shut off valve is recommended when using a pressurized storage tank.
Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump - $129
Electric booster pump to increase pressure to system, increasing production and decreasing waster. Required in homes with less than 40psi. Simply plug it in when you want to make water and unplug it when you are done. If using with a tank or float valve the ESO & TSO switches are required for proper operation. NOTE: This higher pressure pump is required for larger membranes used in these systems. Lower pressure pumps (such as the Aquatec 6800) will not provide satisfactory results
ESO & TSO Switches - $40
Electronic switches for use with the Aquatec booster pumps. Required when using a tank or float valve. TSO switch detects when tank is full or float activates, shutting off pump and triggering the ESO. ESO switch shuts water to the system off, eliminating unnecessary waste water. NOTE: The ESO takes place of the auto shut off valve, if using the ESO switch the auto shut off valve is not needed.
About De-Ionization (DI)
How De-Ionization (DI) Works
De-ionization, (commonly referred to as DI), is a common process for producing ultra pure water. The DI filter is filled with resin beads, some with a negative charge and some with a positive charge. When you test your water with a TDS meter (total dissolved solids), it gives you a number that tells you the sum of the different contaminates in your water. All of these contaminates are either negatively or positively charged, so when they pass through the DI filter they are attracted to the oppositely charged resin beads. Since the DI filter has both negatively and positively charged resin beads it is able to remove 99% of the contaminates in your water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is capable of removing 95-97% of all contaminates, so when the remaining 3-5% is passed through a DI filter you are effectively removing 99.9% of the contaminates. This quality of water is comparable to distilled water and is excellent for use in reef aquariums and other application where distilled water is used.
Is It Safe To Drink DI Water?
DI water is 99% pure water, comparable to distilled water, so it is just as safe to drink as distilled water is. Due to the fact that it is so pure, a lot of people do not like the taste, so it's potability (drinkability) comes down to your own personal opinion.
About Reverse Osmosis (RO)
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Normal Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis, also known as hyperfiltration, is the finest filtration known. This process will allow the removal of particles as small as dissolved individual ions from a solution. Reverse osmosis is used to purify water and remove ions and dissolved organic molecules. It can be used to purify fluids such as ethanol and glycol, which will pass through the reverse osmosis membrane, while rejecting other ions and contaminants from passing. The most common use for reverse osmosis is in purifying water. It is used to produce water that meets the most demanding specifications that are currently in place. If two aqueous solutions of different salinity are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, osmosis will cause water to pass through the membrane in the direction of the more concentrated solution, therefore diluting it. By applying sufficient pressure to the more concentrated liquid, the direction of osmosis can be reversed. In this way, we can mechanically reverse the flow and separate the concentrated solution into its constituents: the water and the dissolved solids. One part is called the permeate, or filtrate, and the other is the reject stream, or concentrate.
How Does A Membrane Separate Substances?
Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that is semi-permeable, allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants that remain. Most reverse osmosis technology uses a process known as crossflow to allow the membrane to continually clean itself. As some of the fluid passes through the membrane the rest continues downstream, sweeping the rejected species away from the membrane, in a concentrated brine reject water. The process of reverse osmosis requires a driving force to push the fluid through the membrane, and the most common force is pressure from a pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force. As the concentration of the fluid being rejected increases, the driving force required to continue concentrating the fluid increases.
Reverse osmosis is capable of rejecting bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes, and other constituents that have a molecular weight of greater than 150-250 daltons. The separation of ions with reverse osmosis is aided by charged particles. This means that dissolved ions that carry a charge, such as salts, are more likely to be rejected by the membrane than those that are not charged, such as organics. The larger the charge and the larger the particle, the more likely it will be rejected.
