RO/DI Cartridges & Media

Aquatic Life's Nuclear Grade Color Changing Mixed Bed Resin physically changes colors as it becomes exhausted, allowing you to monitor the consumption of the DI resin and know when to change it out. If you use a TDS meter on your RO/RODI system we still recommend color changing resin as it will let you know when to monitor your TDS meter before the total dissolved solids in your filtered water start to increase. Our color changing DI resin is packed in vacuum sealed foil-lined resealable Mylar bags for maximum freshness, efficacy and shelf life. Color Changing DI Resin is necessary to reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to zero in the final stage of an RO/DI unit. The resin is designed to be used with one of our refillable DI cartridges - refilling DI cartridges is much more economical than throwing away exhausted cartridges and recommended for hobbyists that require large quantities of purified water.  Color Changing Mixed Bed DI Resin Changes Color from Blue to Amber as the media is exhausted. A 1 Liter bag will fill 1.5, 10-inch DI Cartridges and 3, 21-CI Cartridges.   A 5 Liter bag will fill 7, 10-inch DI Cartridges and 15, 21-CI Cartridges. Vacuum packed in foil-lined resealable Mylar bags to preserve quality.  2 year shelf life (unopened) When filling 10-inch cartridges like our item #9000226 ensure the resin is packed in the cartridge tightly - when squeezed there should be almost no flex or give to the cartridge.

RO/DI cartridges offered by Aquatic Life and distributed by Aqua-Crylic. Micron Pre-Filter Cartridges for Standard RO Systems. Features: 1-Micron dual density gradient sediment filter is highly recommended due to longer life and cost effectiveness. Precision manufactured from 100% pure Polypropylene fibers. The fibers have been carefully spun together to form a true gradient density from outside to inside surfaces. 9-7/8" standard size cartridge is self-sealing for a tight fit in RO units. Item 330088 Color Changing Mixed Bed DI 10-Inch Cartridge is the most effective and easy to use DI cartridge available - filled with Aquatic Life MBD-30 Nuclear Grade resin. Features: Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-) remove the remaining total dissolved solids (TDS) from membrane-filtered water. 10" standard cartridge size includes a top gasket for a secure fit, and NEW Cartridge housing shape lends itself to efficient water-to-resin contact, while the NEW Opaque cartridge takes the guess work out of determining when resin is exhausted. Aquatic Life MBD-30 Nuclear Grade Resin changes from blue to yellow, then tan to white when depleted. Item 330091 Carbon Block Pre-Filter Cartridge for Standard RO Systems. Features: 1/2-Micron carbon block pre-filter is a high-quality replacement for your existing carbon filter and works best with our 1-Micron dual density gradient sediment filter. 9-3/4" Standard size cartridge includes rubber gaskets at both ends to ensure 100% water flow-through. Activated Carbon removes chlorine from most incoming tap water supplies for up to six months. Durable outer and core wrap keeps carbon secure throughout cartridge life. Item 330090 Aquatic Life 10-Inch Replacement Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Cartridge for Standard Size RO Systems. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is produced and refined through carbonization and activation with high quality coconut shells as raw material. Pre-treatment of water with GAC helps ensure removal of higher levels of chlorine and other dissolved contaminants than by using standard 5-micron carbon block cartridges. Estimated Operating Life: 5,000+ gallons depending on water quality. Item 330313. Aquatic Life Color Changing Mixed Bed DI Inline Cartridges are the most effective and easy to use DI cartridges available - filled with Aquatic Life MBD-30 Nuclear Grade resin. Features: Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-) remove the remaining total dissolved solids (TDS) from membrane-filtered water. Clear cartridge takes the guess work out of determining when resin is exhausted. Aquatic Life MBD-30 Nuclear Grade resin changes from blue to amber when depleted. Includes mounting clips to attach to all standard size RO membrane housings. Item Number: 21-Cubic Inch Color Changing Mixed Bed Resin Inline Cartridge (330242) The ChloraGuard Catalytic Carbon Chloramine Removal Filter Cartridge is unsurpassed for removing Chloramines in municipal water supplies that are disinfected with Chloramines. More and more water treatment plants have turned to Chloramines as an alternative to straight chlorine - Chloramines are a combination of Chlorine and Ammonia. Unlike straight Chlorine, which can be removed fairly easily, Chloramines remain in the water longer and are much more difficult to remove. ChloraGuard filters offer a unique carbon blend that delivers exceptionally low pressure drop, high dirt holding capacity, and excellent contaminant reduction. For Kent Marine, Seachem, Spectrapure, and all RO or RO/DI units that use standard 10" cartridges. We have tested replacement cartridges from all manufacturers and believe ours are the best quality available. NOTE: We recommend all carbon cartridges are rinsed prior to use to remove any carbon dust that may be present during cartridge filling and shipping. Item 330399.

STAGE 1 – TWIST-IN SEDIMENT FILTER CARTRIDGE. Aquatic Life Twist-In Sediment Filter Cartridge: Recommend replacing every 6 months. 5-Micron Sediment Filter that traps sediment and other particulate matter like dirt, silt and rust which will affect the taste and appearance of your water. Working Pressure: Minimum 35 PSI, Maximum 80 PSI, Ideal 65 PSI. Item 330377. STAGE 2 – TWIST-IN CARBON BLOCK FILTER CARTRIDGE. Aquatic Life Twist-In Carbon Block Filter Cartridge: Recommend replacing every 6 months. Reduces chlorine and conditions water prior to an RO membrane. Working Pressure: Minimum 35 PSI, Maximum 80 PSI, Ideal 65 PSI. Item 330379. STAGE 3 – TWIST-IN RO MEMBRANE FILTER CARTRIDGE. Aquatic Life Twist-In TFC RO Membrane Filter Cartridge, 100 GPD: Recommended replacing every 1-2 Years. The RO Membrane reduces impurities known as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from the water down to 1/10,000 of a micron, reducing arsenic, lead, parasitic cysts, copper and more. Working Pressure: Minimum 35 PSI, Maximum 80 PSI, Ideal 65 PSI. Flow Rate: 100 GPD. Item 330375 STAGE 4 – TWIST-IN MIXED BED COLOR CHANGING RESIN DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGE. Aquatic Life Twist-In Color Changing Dual Deionization Filter Cartridge: Replace when the resin color changes completely. After the water is filtered by a membrane (not included), there is usually a small amount of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) left in the water. In certain non-drinking water applications, it is important to remove the remaining TDS from the water. This is accomplished by filtering the water through a resin that is charged with Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-). As the resin absorbs the TDS, it will change color. When the entire resin has changed color, it is time to replace the DI filter. The new twist-in media cartridge design makes filter changes simple, easy and clean – no tools required and no mess! The twist-in cartridges can be easily changed in only seconds with just a quarter turn and without contact with used filter material.  It is important the cartridges are installed post membrane filter to prolong the life of the Deionization (DI) cartridge. Working Pressure: Minimum 35 PSI, Maximum 80 PSI, Ideal 65 PSI. Item 330380.
