Incoming water is pre-filtered with sediment cartridges initially, this prevents further stages such as the carbon stage from premature blocking. Chlorine and chloramines are treated with carbon to protect the fish from chemical attack that can break down a mucus layer on the surface of the fish which otherwise encourages parasites to grow on the fish. These chemicals also attack the reverse osmosis membranes if not treated with carbon first.
Stages of Filtration & Water Treatment
Sediment Removal
Prevents debris, dirt and particle build up in pipework, tanks, equipment and where present, premature blinding of filtration stages further along the cascade.
SPECTRUM TruDepth Standard Spun-Bonded Cartridge (SSP)
Typically used
SSP-5-97/8SPECTRUM 10" / 20" Economic Filter Housing Systems
Typically used
EFHS-PK-10-3/4Chlorine Treatment
Helps the taste and odour of the liquid and where present, protects RO membranes from chemical attack.
SPECTRUM FibreOnyx Economic Carbon Filter - EFBC
Typically used
EFBC-5-93/4SPECTRUM 10" / 20" Economic Filter Housing Systems
Typically used
EFHS-PK-10-3/4Chloramine Treatment
Some utility companies use chloramine in place of chlorine as it lasts longer in the pipework, removing chloramine requires highly developed carbon technology.
SPECTRUM FibreOnyx Chloramine Carbon Filter - PFBC
Typically used
PFBC-5-93/4SPECTRUM 10" / 20" Economic Filter Housing Systems
Typically used
EFHS-PK-10-3/4Heavy Metals Removal
Metals such as lead, cadmium, copper and zinc are attracted to the resin beads and removed from the water.
SPECTRUM Heavy Metal Removal Resin Cartridge (SRHM)
Typically used
SRHM-10SPECTRUM 10" / 20" Economic Filter Housing Systems
Typically used
EFHS-PK-10-3/4Ultraviolet Disinfection
UV light impedes bacterial growth by sterilising the DNA of microorganisms, suppressing bio-film and bacteria colony growth.
