Water treatment system designed to obtain a more controllable base before preparing the nutrient solution. In indoor cultivation and hydroponics, starting from “cleaner” water helps manage mixing parameters more consistently.
Key features
- Type: Reverse osmosis system with pump
- Use: Treatment of irrigation water for indoor cultivation and hydroponics
- Goal: Reduction of salts and impurities for a more stable water base
- When it is useful: Where water is hard or has a high mineral residue
Overview
What it is for
A reverse osmosis system with pump is used to treat water before use in fertigation. By reducing the mineral component and some impurities, it provides a more predictable starting water on which to build the nutrient programme more precisely.
Who it is for
- Growers who want to start from more controllable water before adding nutrients
- Hydroponic and aeroponic systems where water quality affects solution management
- Those who want to reduce encrustations and mineral buildup on pipes, drippers, reservoirs and pumps
What makes it different
- The presence of the pump supports the filtration process, as indicated by the “with pump” configuration.
- It helps prepare a water base better suited to mixing the nutrient solution.
- It is integrated upstream of reservoirs and irrigation lines, dedicating a flow to the production of treated water.
How to use
Assembly
- Position the system near the water intake and in an area that is easy to inspect.
- Connect inlet and outlet following the product documentation diagram and check the fittings are leak-free.
- Prepare a clean container or reservoir to collect the treated water.
Startup
- Perform an initial rinse of the system following the documentation instructions.
- Start producing treated water and check that the flow is regular.
- Measure water parameters (for example conductivity and pH) to correctly set the nutrient solution preparation stage.
Daily management
- Monitor the incoming water and treatment result to keep the mixing strategy stable.
- Store treated water in closed, clean containers to limit contamination and algae growth.
Maintenance
- Replace the filter media when performance drops or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Periodically clean fittings and tubing to prevent leaks and obstructions.
Warnings
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connections, safety and filter replacement.
- Use measuring instruments to verify water parameters before preparing the nutrient solution.

FAQ & growing tips
Do I need to use specific fertilizers after reverse osmosis?
In general, treated water is used as the base for mixing hydroponic nutrients. Always check water parameters and adapt nutrition to the crop and growth stage.
How do I know when the filters need to be replaced?
A deterioration in treated water quality or a decrease in flow are typical signs. Refer to the system documentation and check parameters with reliable instruments.
Can I also use the treated water for topping up reservoirs?
Yes, it is a common practice to keep nutrient solution parameters more stable, especially in recirculating systems. Always check parameters after each top-up.
