Aquatic Life RO Buddie Plus DI Four Stage Reverse Osmosis Deionization Unit 50 GPD

Simply remove the aerator from your kitchen or bathroom sink and use one of the included adapters to convert to a standard garden hose thread. Then use the included hose to 1/4" tubing adapter. Or connect directly to your washing machine spickot. All RO units produce both filtered water and concentrate water. The water that does not pass through the membrane is the waste water. Waste water has a higher concentration of total dissolved solids and is safe to use for watering plants.

The RO Buddie+DI will produce about 2 gallons of filtered water per hour if your water pressure is 65 PSI and the water temperature is 77°F. Use a bucket or barrel to collect your water for use later in an aquarium, a humidifier, specialty plants and more. Use the included 1/4" tubing to easily plumb your RO Buddie. The tubing simply pushes into the press-fit connectors 5/8" and locks into place for a leak-free setup.

The sediment and DI resin cartridges feature translucent housings to view inside the cartridges. You can see when the sediment cartridge is discolored from filtering out the particulate and when the DI resin changes to tan color and should be replaced. When you are ready to make RO/DI water, simply turn on the faucet. When finished, turn off the faucet. Fill your bucket in the tub in case you forget and it overflows. Setting a timer makes remembering easier.

Based on information presented in the most recent Water Quality Report, we suggest using an additional prefilter for RO and RO/DI systems that use the NYC area water supply. People on well water often have CO2 in the water that can quickly deplete the DI resin cartridge. If you are on well water, check for CO2 prior to purchasing the RO Buddie. The RO Buddie carbon cartridge removes chlorine from tap water. However, it does not remove chloramines. Check with your water company or test your water for chloramines prior to purchasing.

The RO Buddie + DI can produce up to 50 gallons of zero TDS water every 24 hours at an affordable price. The RO Membrane will remove up to 98 percent of the TDS in water and the DI Mixed Bed Resin will remove the remaining TDS. The five-micron sediment filter cartridge traps particulate matter like dirt, silt, and rust which will affect the taste and appearance of the water. The five-micron activated carbon reduces chlorine and conditions the water prior to the RO membrane. The RO membrane reduces impurities known as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from the water down to a ratio of 1 out of 10,000 of a micron, reducing arsenic, lead, parasitic cysts, copper and more. The color-changing deionization mixed-bed resin removes the remaining TDS from the membrane filtered water.
