The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Has anyone got any experience with RO units? I am going to buy a 4 stage filter to make my own water. The problem here because of the corona virus is ships selling water may shut soon.

I’ve read some units need a pump if your water pressure is low in your home and you need to keep the unit filters wet 24/7 to keep them useable?

Anyone?

I had a 3 stage one. Pressure should be no issue. It is not efficient though, it wastes 75% of the water to make 25%. We now use Brita filters for drinking water.

It will just be for my shrimp tanks and we don’t have water meters here so it’s a flat rate for how ever much you use.

Wow. It is metered here. Lucky you. Some years we have droughts if it didnt snow much.

It’s not too bad from what I’ve looked into.. about £150 would get me a good one! May have to pull the trigger

They make their money from the replacements. : )
