- Page 2 The Active Aqua 410 De‐chlorination system comes with a 10” sediment and 10” carbon filter. The 420 system comes with a 20” sediment and 20” carbon filter. They are capable of removing up to 99% of chlorine and 97% of sediment from your water supply, as well as reducing chloramines and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) down to acceptable levels. Chlorine and chloramines cause damage to any beneficial organisms living in your growing substrate and root zone. Chlorine will dissipate from water if left sitting out, but the chloramines will remain. Filtered water is also necessary for compost teas. Features and benefits: ‐Made in the USA ‐Metal mounting bracket with clear filter housings (easily wall‐mounted) ‐Garden hose bib adapter and filter wrench included ‐3 year limited warranty Specifications: AARO410 AARO420 ‐Dual 10” filter protection ‐Dual 20” filter protection ‐Full ¼” flow with shutoff valve included ‐Full 3/8” flow with shutoff valve included ‐3750 gallon filter life ‐9000 gallon filter life ‐6’ feed and output lines ‐12’ feed and output lines Your system was designed and made in the United States.

- Page 3 Accessories Handheld EC/TDS Meters: A very accurate way to check the performance of your water filtration system. Regularly checking the EC/TDS can help detect any problems with early membrane exhaustion. Checking the water after the DI cartridge will give you added peace of mind that your reef/salt water system is receiving the quality of water you need. Note that de‐chlorination alone will not significantly reduce the EC/TDS. A reverse osmosis system is required to drastically decrease this value. Membrane Flush Kits: Flush kits are used to extend the membrane life of the filter. Membrane Add‐on Kit: Installing an additional membrane to your existing system will increase your units output! Storage Tank(s): Many times storage of water is needed or just desired. 40 gallon or larger food grade tanks are available to automatically top off. We can design tanks to your needs! Filter Change Sheet and Normal Operation Note: Filters are referenced in the order in which they appear in the system Sediment Filter: This filter is the first stage in the de‐chlorination process. The sediment filter effectively removes particles and sediments. An example of a particle that would be removed is sand. The sediment filter’s life depends on the amount of total particles in your water supply. Discoloration is a sign that the filter is loaded with contaminants and should be replaced with a new sediment filter. Carbon Block, GAC or Chloramine Blaster Filter: These filters effectively reduce VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) in RO water systems. The federal Safe Water Drinking Standard mandates that if you have contaminated drinking water, you need to treat it accordingly. The most cost effective way to predict carbon filter life is by measuring the output in gallons. The carbon block will filter 3,750 gal @ ...
