Ok so my roommate accidentally ran warm/hot water through my Pure-FloII Premium TFC Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System. He only did so for a few hours and the water was not very hot (more on the warm side) but I have been told that hot water will destroy the membrane on this system so I am worried.
My 37-gallon Eclipse (with a Bali octopus in it) is overdue for a water change (I was only planning on doing a 5-gallon change) and so I really need to know if my Pure-Flo system is safe to use as the source for my water change or if I should look for other means of getting clean purified water (i.e. buying it from a store). I live in New York City and I’ve been told that we have the best urban water in the nation but I know that cephalopods are very sensitive to certain minerals or trace amounts of metal in their water so I don’t want to risk my octopus’ life for the sake of convenience but if the risk really isn’t that high then I think that I will just go ahead and use the water that I have already filtered though my system after the warm water incident.
Do any of you have any advice for me? I’m in a bit of a bind and my local aquarium store is temporarily closed and not getting back to me. I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
