50GPD Aquarium Reverse Osmosis Filter System | 0 TDS (GT1-70DI)

Portable Reverse Osmosis De-Ionised Water Filter System

The GT1-70DI Portable RO DI system is great for those looking for deionized “0 TDS” water. Whether you are looking to produce water for your aquarium or even lab grade water this is the system for you. No equipment is more effective in creating the ideal water conditions than a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system.

Ion exchange technology takes the water quality to a significantly higher level than RO alone.  It is an excellent selection for reef enthusiasts and other serious aquarists, especially those who live in areas with exceptionally high levels of minerals, salts and phosphates in their tap water. Our unit includes: Carbon pre-filter and a 50 GPD RO membrane, Deionisation (DI) post-filters. The post deioniser takes the small percentage of contaminants that the membrane could not remove and filters this to greater than 99.99% purity. It will provide you with a TDS of zero.

Yes, there are cheaper systems on the market that produce DI water for your aquarium. However when you look closely at these systems you will note the following:

• Small DI canisters which hold very little resin. DI resin expires quickly, particularly on high TDS water like Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. The higher the TDS, the higher the residual percentage of TDS left post-filtration by RO. The purpose of the DI filter is to "polish" the water and pick up any residual TDS (salts) left.
• The higher the residual, the harder the DI works, and quicker it expires.
• Our system holds 350g of nuclear grade Indion DI resin. Most other systems only offer less than 200 grams capacity.

Our Thoughts On Fluoride

Fluoride is a hot topic all across Australia and the entire world. Unfortunately, whether or not you agree or disagree with the Fluoridation of Drinking Water, it is there!

Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration is the safest and most effective solution to remove Fluoride from your drinking water. Reverse Osmosis water filtration is able to remove Fluoride from the water as it is a Mineral Salt. Mineral salts will pass straight through standard filtration however the 0.0001 Micron RO membranes are able to remove Fluoride along with other impurities in the water.

System Weight

Dry - 1.5Kg

System Dimensions (Approx)

Height: 10cm Width: 35cm Length: 25cm

NOTE: The diverter valve supplied with this unit suits MOST common standard kitchen taps. If you have a tap with a thread that does not measure 22mm - 24mm the standard diverter valve will not be compatible.

HOWEVER, if this is the case we have an alternate fitting we can supply you which allows it to be connected to an outdoor 3/4" thread OR the Laundry water inlet (3/4") this is usually the most preferred method of using this system. PLEASE ensure that you have checked your thread before ordering, if you require the 3/4" fitting, please use the check boxes in the listing to select which fitting you require

Stage 1: GAC Inline Carbon Cartridge – replace every 6 months

This 5 micron inline carbon filter acts to protect the stage two membrane. It will remove the vast quantity of any taste odour or chemicals in the water and help to prolong the life of the membrane.

Stage 2: Asprinn 50GPD RO Membrane (FilmTec Material) - replace every 1 – 4 years

Removes 98% of impurities including organic and inorganic, chemicals. The membrane, is the "engine room" of the reverse osmosis filtration system. All the work is done here, so all the filters before the membrane are primarily there to protect the engine. This membrane will produce up to 50GPD (190L/24hr) of clear pure water @ 70psi within the working feed water quality requirements.

Stage 3: Inline Post RO Deionising Filter GT6-22– replace every 12 months* or if TDS is creeping sooner

DI Resin Inline filter for total extraction of minerals. Indion Mixed Bed De-Ionising Resin MB-115, the most effect de-ionising resin in the world.

How to Measure Your Tap Thread Size to Check Compatibility

This system comes with a standard 22mm Female Thread / 24mm Male Thread tap diverter adaptor per the picture below:

However, sometimes consumers run into trouble when buying a benchtop water filter if they have a non-standard-sized tap (i.e. a tap that is very modern but very skinny), and it’s hard to find an adaptor to fit – so it’s definitely best to check before you buy!

To check the size of your tap, screw the aerator off the end of your tap and take a measurement of the outer diameter of the thread (similar to the below example). Please make sure to measure it accurately from the middle of the thread (see example of the red line below).

***If you are not sure whether the tap adaptor that comes with this system will fit your tap, please follow the above instructions to take a picture of your tap thread measurement, and email the picture to us at info@filtersystemsaustralia.com.au so our team can help double-check the compatibility for you!***

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WATER SANITATION***

Disclaimer: Do not use or drink microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection. 

PLEASE NOTE: REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS PERFORM OPTIMALLY ON CHLORINATED (MAINS/TOWN) WATER, AS THE PRESENCE OF CHLORINE KILLS THE BACTERIA/FUNGI/YEAST. FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY DISINFECT THE WATER WILL RESULT IN BIOFOULING OF THE RO MEMBRANE (I.E. A BACTERIA/FUNGUS/SLIME COLONY WILL START GROWING INSIDE THE MEMBRANE WHICH WILL PUTREFY YOUR FILTER SYSTEM & RENDER THE RO MEMBRANE UNSALVAGEABLE). THIS ALSO APPLIES TO RAIN AND TANK WATER SOURCES. A COMPREHENSIVE WATER ANALYSIS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE USING REVERSE OSMOSIS TO FILTER GROUNDWATER SOURCES SUCH AS A BORE OR SPRING. FSA CAN NOT AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANY COMBINATION OF FILTERS TO MAKE UNTREATED AND UNTESTED WATER SOURCES (SUCH AS RIVER/STEAM/CREEK/LAKE/DAM WATER) SAFE TO DRINK.
