Any filter for RODI okay?

[richardhmc]

I use Melev's RODI system and I love it. 100gpd is amazing. I need to change my filters however I see that on sites like bulk reef supply, it is much cheaper. Are filters all standard size? meaning that can I use the ones from brs and use them in melev's rodi system? Thanks!

All filters are usually standard unless you have the tall RODI units.
the difference is the size of the microns in the filter.
The way my RODI unit is setup starts with a 10 micron then 5 micron, then 1 micron with the 1 being the smallest. you can also check with airwaterice.com

here's a quick answer, much better than my explanation.

ahh makes sense. thanks! I just wanted to know if I could use other filters for my rodi but the explanation helps too.

Does it have to be 10,5,1? Can it be 5,1,1? Because I was thinking about buying from gotham aquatics the filters since they are cheaper but he doesn't have a 10 micron.

Also, what is the order of the filters? is it, sediment, sediment, carbon?

I will clog much faster with 5-1-1.

but it will be cleaner water ?

I been using 5 5 1 for my Fish only tank, Coralline alge everywhere. 5-5-1 is the way to go.
