What is TWP?

Tap water purification is a very important , necessary and a significant additional cost to the set-up. I would strongly advise a DI or RO along with carbon prefilter before the actual purification. Using DI or RO will greatly reduce any problems with micro algae (the bane of reef tanks) it also allows the high quality salt mix to better dissolve and release its beneficial trace elements along with yielding a known pH on a regular basis. Personally I prefer the DI, it does produce a lower quality of water than a RO however, I find it to be more than acceptable.I have used both RO & DI and the problem of having waste water (need a drain nearby) the slowness of its production and having to leave the unit on for substantially extended periods of time, not to mention having to store/move the treated water led me to use the DI. Another useful suggestion is to have the unit set-up rite at the tank, either temporarily with a removable garden hose or more permanently connected to the water sup
