Posted	aqua clear filter
10-05-2006 22:34 by scotty	has any1 used the aqua clear filter advertised on ebay? and does it work 2 get rid of nitrates?
11-05-2006 01:12 by robert.pope	scotty i think only something called a reverse osmosis filter(ro) will remove all nitrates..... i may be wrong ... its not clear what membrane is in this filter sory im no more help as i havent used one .....i am looking at investing in a ro for this reason anyone drink ro water in their home? i see you can get them on e-bay that have a storage tank ....would be good to have to drink as our water is not nice tasting and would be great to use stored water for tank water changes ........i dont want a set up where water is always going to wast..... any info would be helpfull thanks ! rob
11-05-2006 11:48 by drummerduck	robert.pope check out www.ro-man.com I felt safer buying from here then ebay and cheaper then LFS. Horses for courses but its worth a look. Alan pointed me in the direction of this site and i bought a 100gph 6 stage unit with DI filter,pressure meter, tdi meter for £145. That might be over kill for some but they have a wide range. PS. I dont work for Ro-Man WM!!
11-05-2006 13:54 by Alan	Me neither.
11-05-2006 17:56 by robert.pope	drummer and alan am i right about scotty's question though ?
11-05-2006 18:39 by drummerduck	Your right in the sence of getting an Ro unit and then completing normal water changes. The actual Ro unit doesn't remove the nitrates.... the water WITHOUT nitrates being replaced brings down the levels.
11-05-2006 18:43 by drummerduck	you can drink RO water as long as you do not have a DI filter on the unit. Ro units are a valuble piece of kit in marine keeping, they do on the otherhand waste a lot of water.
11-05-2006 19:24 by scotty	i use an ro man water filter very good bit of kit!
11-05-2006 21:16 by robert.pope	scotty why then want the other filter you asked about ?
13-05-2006 18:24 by scotty	i suffer with very high nitrates even though i change 100l of water a week this aqua clear filter is supposed 2 remove the nitrates al 2gether
