Re: [APD] new tank for Angles

[Vaughn Hopkins <hoppycalif at yahoo_com>]

I have no experience with H2O Concepts water treatment, but it seems to 
be just a filtration system, with an added gimmick, the electrical 
pulses.  That gimmick isn't likely to have any worthwhile effect.  For 
one thing, it says that CaCO3 does not adhere to pipes, but that is 
what does adhere to pipes and everything else.  Secondly, Calcium 
bicarbonate is not a harmful chemical, so removing it doesn't seem to 
offer any advantage.  And, last, the relatively high frequency 
electrical pulses aren't likely to have much, if any effect on the 
water.  These are just my opinions, of course.  If I thought I needed 
filtration of tank water at water changes, I would probably just use an 
activated carbon filter.
