Description
The Glamorca activated carbon filter removes volatile organic chemicals (VOC), pesticides, herbicides, chlorine and many other harmful chemicals. It helps to protect the RO membrane. These filters are very easy to change, especially when compared to traditional RO filters.
How often should I be changing Glamorca activated carbon filters?
For best results change the Glamorca activated carbon filter along with the Glamorca carbon block filter every 6 months.
The Glamorca machine has a timer built in, so it should remind you when it’s time to change the filter by highlighting one of the five LED lights on the front of the unit.
Which LEDs represent which quick change Glamorca filter?
- = 5 μ micron sediment filter – change every 4 months
- = activated carbon filter – change every 6 months
- = carbon block filter – change every 6 months
- = RO membrane – change every 12 months
- = DI (deionisation) filter – change whenever the TDS is higher than 0ppm
RODI units and ICP testing
If you are changing your filters as recommended, you should have no trouble with water quality. It is good to know that the Glamorca machine constantly monitors the TDS of your water as well!
However, if you get behind with the filter changes, and want to double check RODI water quality, you can always use a ICP/OES test kit. Simply take a sample of the RODI water straight from the clean water pipe and send it off to be lab tested in one of the easy to use Reef Zlements ICP test kits. You will receive an extremely accurate read out of RODI water analysis.
Other notes about Glamorca activated carbon filter:
Do not use where the water is microbiologically unsafe or of an unknown quality. It is essential that operation, maintenance and filter replacement requirements be carried out as scheduled so that the system can perform to its optimum ability.
Glamorca RODI water filters are only for use to make water for aquariums.
