I want the best brand that combines both technologies - RO and carbon filtering - into one apparatus.
Fart underwater and the bubbles will filter the water. Saves lots of money on fancy do-nothing filtration systems.
Nanostructured Carbon Water Filter. It#39;s 350 times higher adsorption effect than GAC \ Granular Activated Carbon.
The current machine has UV and Active Carbon filtration.
The machine is Eureka Forbes' and is a 10 yr old model.
Just in general, should i opt for a repair, or get a new system with 6 step RO purification??
The water used is North Delhi's (India). and is soft water.
All suggestions will be duly appreciated!
I'm not sure about either. If UV treatment creates ozone as a byproduct, that would not be healthy to breath. If not, I would say stay with the carbon.
RO systems do take everything out of the water both good and bad. It leaves you with what some would call hungry water. The water wants to find the mineral balance that it lost. When you drink it, it finds the minerals inside of you and pulls them from you. The water is also acidic. If there is a way in the 6 step process to counter act these problems, it should be ok.
After some research, the system I went with adds energy and minerals back to the water after going through a fine filtration process, the same as a kidney dialysis machine.

I have read somewhere that RO doesn't filter out chlorine that well. Is that true? Does a carbon filter cleans out chlorine well?
I wouldn't see why it wouldn't... I have a simple water purifier that boils the water, as in a Kenmore brand. There is no chlorine taste or smell with the purified water. So RO filtration would seem even more advanced than my simple purifier..Hope this helps..
I have an 80 gallon Cichild tank I am running a Casscade 700 Model. Ive been doing some reading and have to come to the conclusion that Carbon and Bio Balls, are pretty much a waste of time and money? is this true? what about for something like a 10 gallon tank? What exactly will filter the water without these things in my filter?
Carbon is useless..in fact it creates far more problems than it solves nost notably turring into a phosphate bomb...hooray !! free algae maker.
In the hobby 50 years ago it was thought that water changes were bad and would upset the balance your tank was trying to achieve.
(heeheehee)
But organics would build up and tinge the water a nasty yellow. How to get rid of the tinge without removing water?
Carbon....it did the trick nicely.
Now that we know water changes are a good thing, carbon is now redundant as a water change has the same effect as carbon but alot cheaper.
But carbon kept getting pushed on any sucker that would buy it. Big surprise still here today.
I keep some sweet black diamond carbon around for the odd use but rarley does this stuff every touch one of my tanks.
Say someone you know smokes or had super dirty hands and that person put there hand in the tank......Carbon will bail you out in a hurry.
So keep some around..
Best Carbon in the world for tank use losses its effectiveness in about 4 days. Duration is based on volume..for you 30 days of effective carbon use would be about 2 two litre bottles full a month
thats alot.
Bio-balls...not a big fan but they do work. It seems of the 3 types of beneficial bacteria needed only one really like to reside in bio-balls..hence there ineffectiveness.
Splintered glass by Eheim is the best bio-logical media on the planet hands down. All 3 live there in huge numbers.
sounds like a nice cichlid tank
good luck

The Industrial Filters Variety
There are a variety industrial element and applications used in the industrial arena. Its not as simple as one element, as the industrial sector offers and requires detailed filtration systems that business professionals should be cognizant of and recognize to correctly pick their ideal filter.
Absorption Filters. Absorption filters are designed to take out water or a specific chemical from fuel, solvents and oils. Generally used in gas pipe-lines, refineries, oil recycling applications.
Adsorption Filters. The Fullers Earth is used to absorb soulable contaminants such as gums, resins, waxes and acids from fuels, oils, and solvents. Carbon elements are created for the restriction of color and smell from potable liquids such as water, vegetable oils and mineral oils.
