This complete water purification system has four stages of filtration. The 1-micron filter cartridge protects the reverse osmosis membrane and improves water quality by removing sediment, insoluble iron and other solids that can foul the RO membrane. The 5-micron activated carbon block adds a second layer of protection by removing chlorine, chloramine and organic chemicals. The thin film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis membrane removes algae-promoting phosphates and silicates along with nitrates. After passing through the RO filtration unit the water flows through a mixed-bed deionization cartridge. This special blend of ion-exchange resins scavenges any traces of nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, silicate and heavy metals like copper and lead. Your salt mix will dissolve clearer and have a more stable pH when you use the AQ-4040 to make your water. If you\u2019re keeping soft-water fish like angels, cardinals, or South American cichlids, you\u2019ll have an easier time keeping the water soft and pH low with the AQ-4040. This filtration system will remove water hardness and alkalinity, making it easier to create the soft acidic water aquatic plants and acid-loving fish need to thrive. Replacement 5-micron sediment filters, 5-micron activated carbon pre-filters and TFC reverse osmosis membranes and deionization resin cartridges are available.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7928&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7927&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1521136918379{padding-top: 4% !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Clean Refreshing Aquarium Water for Your Fish &amp; Plants&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231577b0&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"tab-description_p\" style=\"text-align: left\">When you choose an APEX water filter, you\u2019ll get the absolute best water filter system for your needs from a company that values your business and will go above and beyond to ensure your full satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7883&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Built in U.S.A.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231577b0&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"tab-description_p\" style=\"text-align: left\">Not only can you feel good knowing that APEX Water Filters gives Americans good-paying jobs, but you can also be certain that we carefully monitor each step in the manufacturing process because we produce our filtration systems locally.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7887&#8243; img_size=&#8221;352&#215;235&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Quality Guaranteed&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231577b0&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"tab-description_p\" style=\"text-align: left\">APEX Water Filters guarantees that our systems will meet your water filtration needs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;color: red;font-size: 18px\">If for any reason you\u2019re not completely satisfied with an APEX Water Filter, we\u2019ll replace it or refund the purchase price\u2013no questions asked.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;color: red\">Warranty *<span style=\"color: #464646\"> Household water pressure can cause leaks and damage the surrounding building or<br \/>\nfixtures if not properly installed.
