Description
Reduce silica and silicates in reverse osmosis water
The hw silica/silicate remover post-treats the permeate from a reverse osmosis system. It reduces residual silicates in the source water for your aquarium. A lower silicate input can help limit diatom growth.
The filter medium can also take up small residual amounts of nitrite, nitrate and phosphate. Actual retention and service life depend on the composition and load of the water passing through it. The filter does not replace regular water testing or guarantee complete removal of all pollutants.
Connection and capacity
Install the filter after the reverse osmosis system at the permeate outlet. It is not a dosing product to be added directly to the aquarium. The stated capacity is approximately 2,500–3,000 litres, depending on the total residual salt content and quality of the RO water.
Check the filtered water regularly with a suitable silicate test and replace the cartridge in good time.
Complete unit and replacement cartridge
The complete hw silica/silicate remover includes a filter-medium cartridge and tubing connectors. A replacement cartridge is available separately. Select the appropriate version on this product page.
