The summary
- What it is: the fine filter and carbon refills, and the membranes for the 1,900 and 3,800 L per day reverse osmosis units.
- The principle: a refill replaces only the inner cartridge, the housing stays on the unit.
- When to change: the refills every 6 to 12 months, the membrane of the 1,900 after 12 to 24 months.
- How it arrives: by parcel to your home, each part in its original packaging.
Internal cartridges and membranes for high-flow reverse osmosis units
A high-output reverse osmosis unit passes hundreds of litres of tap water through its filters every day, so its cartridges wear out at the pace of your production. The wear parts offered here fit the two large ARKA myAqua models, the 1,900 L per day one and the 3,800 L per day one: the fine filter refills, the carbon refills and the membranes. By changing them in good time, you get back the water quality and output of the first days, without replacing the unit or its housings.
🧱 Refills and housings
On these two reverse osmosis units, each pre-filtration stage consists of a housing fixed to the unit and an inner cartridge that slides into it. The refill is just this cartridge: you unscrew the housing, remove the old cartridge, put the new one in its place and screw it back. The housing, its seals and its fittings stay in place, which makes the job quicker and cheaper than replacing a complete filter. The refills for the 1,900 measure 24.5 cm long by 6.5 cm in diameter, and those for the 3,800 measure 29.3 cm by 6.7 cm, so the parts for one model do not fit the housings of the other.
💧 What each stage retains
The water passes through the stages in a precise order, and each one protects the next. The fine filter first stops suspended particles, such as rust and sand, using a polypropylene sheet with a fineness of 1 micron. The C1 carbon, a block of activated carbon, then retains chlorine, odours and discolouration of the water, which protects the membrane, since chlorine degrades its material. The membrane then separates the water from almost all of its dissolved salts, and the C2 carbon, made from coconut shell and placed after it, completes the removal of chlorine, pesticides and medication residues. Both reverse osmosis units have these four stages, but their parts are not the same size.
Fine filter
Its 1 micron fleece traps the rust and sand that would clog the carbon.
Carbon C1
Its activated carbon block removes chlorine, odours and discolouration from the water.
Carbon C2
Its coconut shell charcoal complements the C1 against pesticides and medication.
Membrane
Its 0.0001 micron pores retain up to 99% of salts, metals and bacteria.
A covered reservoir for remineralising RO water
An osmosis unit producing 1,900 L a day fills a container quickly, and the water it produces is best stored before use rather than sent straight into the tank. The 170 L hydroponic reservoir with lid holds this water away from dust and light. There you remineralise your reverse osmosis water to the dose you want, then draw it off for water changes and top-ups, always with the same composition.
Switch off the water before opening a housing
Turn off the water supply and unplug the reverse osmosis unit before unscrewing any housing, then let the pressure drop by opening the osmosed water outlet. A housing opened under pressure sprays its water out all at once and can damage its seal. When refitting, check that the seal is properly seated in its groove before screwing back on by hand.
🌿 RO water in aquaponics
A large reverse osmosis unit comes into its own when you are handling big volumes, such as an aquaponics greenhouse, several tanks or a tank that has to be filled before start-up. Starting with water stripped of its nitrates and salts means you know that the nitrates measured afterwards really come from your fish, and not from your mains supply. This water must, however, be remineralised before it goes into a living system, because it no longer contains the carbonates that stabilise the pH. The article on pH regulation in aquaponics explains this step in detail, and the carbonate hardness test confirms the result.
📆 Planning your water changes
The cartridges on the 1 900 should be changed after 6 to 12 months, and its membrane after 12 to 24 months of use, depending on the hardness of your water and the volume produced. On the 3 800, the fine filter cartridge should be changed after 6 months at the latest and the carbon cartridges after 6 to 12 months, while the membrane is replaced according to the load of your incoming water. The surest way to decide remains measuring the TDS of the water produced, which you compare with the value recorded with new parts: above 50 ppm, the water no longer has the purity of osmosed water, and a lasting rise points to a worn part. A pocket TDS tester is enough to track this value. Always change the pre-filters first, since a saturated carbon lets chlorine through to the membrane, then let the unit produce for 30 to 60 minutes to waste before keeping the water.
