Osmosis water for the aquarium?

It forms the perfect foundation. Osmosis water is not only used for drinking water treatment, but is also an important part of aquarium keeping.
We explained the functional principle of osmosis to you in another article .

What are the benefits of osmosis water?

What has long been known among fish farmers is becoming increasingly popular among aquarium enthusiasts. Not only does it offer young animals optimal living conditions, it also offers other advantages such as less frequent water changes and less limescale deposits.

Just tap water into the aquarium?

If people can no longer calmly quench their thirst at the tap due to drug residues and microplastics, the water is not ideal for your animals either.
The limits that apply to tap water apply to people, but not to the small aquarium inhabitants.

Only osmosis water in the aquarium?

There is no general answer to this question; it depends on the needs of your residents. This should be decided depending on the stock.
The osmosis water is absolutely pure, so it forms the optimal basis.
You have the option of blending the osmosis water (mixing in tap water) at any time.

Example based on water hardness:

Tap water 20°dH

Osmosis water 0°dH

Desired value 5°dH

This requires around 75% osmosis water and around 25% tap water

The pH value must also be dealt with. Here too you can achieve the desired value by blending.

Product: REOS Compact reverse osmosis system

Answer:

The REOS Compact reverse osmosis system is primarily designed for the treatment of relatively clean, pre-filtered drinking water. While it is excellent at removing impurities, pollutants and microorganisms from water to produce pure drinking water, its suitability for producing drinking water directly from a body of water such as a river depends on various factors.

For the direct treatment of river water into drinking water, preparatory steps are usually necessary to remove coarse impurities and particles before the water is passed through a reverse osmosis system. This includes pre-filtration to remove sediment, suspended solids and possible larger organic materials that could damage or clog the reverse osmosis system membranes.

Furthermore, the process of reverse osmosis can also lead to a reduced pH value, making the water slightly acidic. This is because reverse osmosis systems not only remove impurities, but also minerals that give the water flavor and contribute to pH balance. In some cases, it is therefore necessary to post-treat the osmosis-treated water to increase the pH and add minerals back in so that it meets drinking water standards and preferences.
