100% pure bio pellets, Which is all we sell at www.purelyh2o.com, help remove nitrate and phosphate from your Reef saltwater aquarium so these nutrients are not available to algae and other organisms .the process is to convert  the nitrate and phosphate in the reef aquarium water into bacteria cells that are then removed from the aquarium by a protein skimmer or cleaning your mechanical filter. Nitrate and phosphate are nutrients and can only be removed by water changes with a Reverse Osmosis or RODI Filter System or by having some organism consume it. In most aquariums without plants as competitors, algae will consume the nitrate and phosphate resulting in a tank full of unwanted and unsightly algae. In a great deal of  marine aquariums cyanobacteria, which grows like a red to black carpet over the entire aquarium, will consume the nitrate and phosphate. To grow algae and bacteria you need carbon, nitrogen (nitrate) and phosphorus (phosphate). Studies show that many man...

Q) Does reverse osmosis remove parasites?A) The largest allowable pass through in a reverse osmosis membrane is 1/10,000th of a micron. Thesize suggested by the NSF to remove parasites is 1 micron. This makes the filtration quality of reverseosmosis 10,000 times better than the recommended value! Q) Where does the TDS go after the RO removes it?A) The RO membrane has the ability to clean itself. The particulates in the water are flushed down thedrain. This is why the RO membrane lasts so much longer than the other filters in the system. Q) How much water does this system waste?A) the typical waste to product ratio for a reverse osmosis system is 4 to 1 under the correct pressure.The ratio will change in favor of the product as the pressure increases. There are other ways to improvethe waste to product ratio as well. Please call us at (877) 803-7462 if...

SOME FACTS ABOUT REVERSE OSMOSIS DRINKING WATER: DOES YOUR BODY NOT NEED THE MINERALS IN DRINKING WATER? INORGANIC MINERALS: It's believed that mineral water helps to furnish elements for your bodies metabolism. However, there is scientific proof to suggest that most of these minerals are in an inorganic (dead) form. While they may enter the circulation, they cannot be used in the physiological process of building human cells. With this in mind, we can see that mineral water may give "dead" or "inorganic" minerals to the body which cannot be properly assimilated. These inorganic minerals only interfere with the delicate and complex biology of the body. "The body's need for minerals is largely met through foods, not drinking water". - The American Medical Journal - (One glass of orange juice contains more beneficial minerals than thirty gallons of untreated tap water. Fact: Organic minerals in tap water represent only 1%...
