Aquarium care is a labor of love, there is a lot complicated in development these gorgeous underwater habitats. Many fish-aficionados understand the point of clean water in the tank, and therefore the point of reverse osmosis and deionization. First let's take a look at what exactly these do:
Reverse Osmosis
This process filters water straight through a permeable membrane. This membrane in turn filters out unwanted heavy metals, nitrates, chemicals like pesticides and herbicides, chlorine and other unnatural and unwanted contaminants. Just as these contaminants are harmfully for us, they are even more harmful to your fish due to the build up due to their smaller size.

Deionization
Deionization is another form of purification, but it works straight through ion exchange. It would take an developed degree to fully understand the process, but plainly put it replaces the unwanted parts with water particles.

Both processes essentially do the same task, of removing unwanted impurities from the water. Often these two are used in mixture to take off the most impurities. The reverse osmosis removes the bulk and then a deionization filter will take off the rest.
Is this Necessary?
This depends on your tank, and your commitment to your fish. Some aquariums, such as saltwater tanks with corals and anemones will need this processing, as will very delicate fish, Discus for example. For most amateurs this will not be necessary, but for more difficult aquariums they will need a more delicate balance. Keep in mind that when you take off the impurities straight through reverse osmosis or deionization, you will need to replace some of the wanted minerals that are removed in the process.
In order to decide if this is necessary, you will want to consult a professional with regard to your exact aquarium setup. You will also want to test your water periodically, to see if the water arrival out of the tap is pure enough for aquarium use. You will also want to know the ability of your water pipes, because leaching from old pipes is very toxic for our maritime friends.
Maintenance
Maintaining your filter is important, so be ready to test and accomplish light maintenance on your reverse osmosis and deionization filters periodically. A flush kit will help you keep the filters clean and ensure that they last as long as possible. Using a flush kit is a cheap way to increase the life of your high-priced filters.
Remember that our aquatic amigos have a much more delicate internal filtration principles than we do and even small changes in water lucidity can be enough to cause damage or death. Regular water testing and maintenance can be critical, a literal matter of life and death.
