Reverse Osmosis Water
Have you had enough of hard water and limescale? Are you tired of algae problems?
There is an answer - Reverse Osmosis Water.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is produced by passing tap water through a semi permeable
membrane under high pressure. The final product is water that is over 99% pure.

WHO CAN USE RO WATER?
Everyone who keeps fish can use RO water. It is ideal for Marines, Discus and other soft
water species. Anyone who has tap water with a high pH, nitrate or phosphate levels or
recurring algae problems.

MARINES
Marine invertebrates can be easily damaged by the nitrates and phosphates in tap water.
The use of RO water in Marine systems allows easy management of these levels, eliminating
rapid growth of nuisance algae. When a high quality synthetic salt mix is added to RO
water, near perfect sea water is produced. RO is also ideal for topping up evaporated water.

DISCUS AND OTHER SOFT WATER SPECIES
The tap water in this area is very hard and alkaline with a pH in the region of 8. These are
completely the wrong conditions in which to keep Discus and other soft water species (e.g.
South American Tetras, Cichlids and Catfish) successfully. RO water makes it very easy to
control the pH and water hardness, simply by adding a small amount of buffer.

ALGAE PROBLEMS
Two of the main causes of algae in aquariums are nitrate and phosphate. These are found
in our local tap water as well as being a bi-product of filtration. Inappropriately managed
these levels will build up and contribute to algae problems as well as poor fish health. Regular
water changes with RO water of approximately 20% a fortnight will prevent them occurring.

RO WATER AT MAIDENHEAD AQUATICS
RO water is sold by us in containers which hold 25 litres (5.5 gallons). Please ask staff for
current RO and container prices. Once you have purchased a container you can simply
come back for refills on a regular basis. We also sell minerals to add to the water to
replace essential trace elements (for either marine or freshwater).
