Installing the Reverse Osmosis filter in your grow room is one of the most beneficial things you could ever do for your plants! By simply filtering your tap water with this RO unit, you can expect to get 25-30% extra yield and super fast growth out of your grow room! It sounds unbelievable at first but when you understand how the RO unit works it will all make sense and you’ll be wondering why you haven’t done this earlier! The average EC (Electron Conductivity – or how salty the water is) of tap water is around 0.4-0.6 EC, this means the tap water you feed your plants with contains salts and other nasties that plants cant use. Treating tap water with an RO filter takes all those bad salts out leaving you with a solution that has close to a Zero EC value. Removing all the unusable salts and minerals from tap water means you can add more good minerals such as your A+B, Potash, Nitrogen etc, without going over the maximum EC/Nutrient strength value. Just by removing the small amount of unusable minerals from tap water you will notice that your plants grow faster, look healthier and yield bigger. Reverse Osmosis or ‘RO’ filtration systems are very effective at reducing a wide range of contaminants, including salts and nitrates, bacteria, protozoa, viruses, arsenic, heavy metals, and minerals.The main advantage of removing the existing salts from your hydroponics water supply is that nutrients are added only at the grower’s discretion, making growing more predictable and calculable. The only nutrients that are present in the nutrient solution are the ones that are advantageous to the plant. Nutrients can react with various contaminants in unfiltered tap water causing unpredictable results. This unit is built with quality food grade materials and with the highest quality John Guest high pressure fittings/tubing. This is a 4 stage unit. Water runs through a Sediment Filter, into a Carbon Filter and then through the 2 RO Membranes. Spare Sediment and carbon filters are Available ( if using 24/7 these may need changing every 1-2 months depending on area) Spare Reverse Osmosis (top filters) are Available
