SilicaBuster is our highest-removal 10" DI cartridge — semiconductor-grade resin tuned to reach 18.2 MΩ and drive silica, nitrates, phosphates, and heavy metals to undetectable levels. Non-color-indicating, so monitor with a resistivity or silica test for exhaustion.
What it does
Final polishing stage for water that needs to be cleaner than mixed-bed alone can deliver — reef tanks battling algae, anywhere with chronic silica bloom, or lab feeds where trace contaminants matter.
Features
- Reaches 18.2 MΩ resistivity
- Drives silica, nitrate, and phosphate to undetectable levels
- Highest silica, nitrate, phosphate, and heavy-metal removal of any 10" DI cartridge we make
- Semiconductor-grade, non-color-indicating resin for lowest TOC
- Optimized for post-RO and post-distillation use
- Higher capacity than other similar-size cartridges
Specs
- Form factor: standard 10"
- Resin: SilicaBuster blend, non-color-indicating
- Purity target: 18.2 MΩ resistivity / 0 TDS / undetectable silica
Note on cartridge life: DI cartridge life drops sharply on low-pH or high-CO₂ feed water. If you see short runs, aerate or degas the RO product to strip CO₂ before the DI stage.

Cleaner water for plants, pets, and people
Reverse osmosis membranes reject microplastics, PFAS and "forever chemicals," chlorine and chloramine byproducts, heavy metals, and the dissolved solids that show up as taste and scale. That means cleaner feed water for your plants, animals, business, or family — and a lot less reliance on bottled water, which keeps plastic out of the landfill. Most setups run a 3:1 waste-to-product ratio on hard water and 2:1 on soft water, and can be tuned to 1:1 in high-purity feed areas or with a periodic pure-water flush. The system is built to last with field-serviceable filter housings, so you replace cartridges (not whole units) for years of dependable purity.
