3 best reverse osmosis for aquarium

Product description

The AQUATICLIFE RO Buddie plus DI is a four-stage RO DI unit designed for residential use to remove the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from tap water. Each RO Buddie includes a Sediment, Carbon, Membrane and DI Resin cartridge. Useful applications include smaller aquariums, fountains, humidifiers and more. With incoming water pressure at 65 PSI and water temperature at 77 degree Fahrenheit, the RO Buddie plus DI will produce up to 50 gallons in a 24-hour period, or a little over two gallons per hour. The included tubing and fittings make setup quick and easy.

• ZERO TDS WATER- Produce up to 50 gallons of zero TDS water every 24 hours at an affordable price with the RO Buddie plus DI model, 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
• SEDIMENT REMOVAL - The five-micron sediment filter cartridge traps particulate matter like dirt, silt, and rust with will affect the taste and appearance of the water
• CARBON FILTRATION - The five-micron activated carbon reduces chlorine and conditions the water prior to the RO membrane
• MEMBRANE FILTRATION - 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
• DEIONIZATION - The color-changing deionization mixed-bed resin removes the remaining TDS from the membrane filtered water

User questions & answers

Question:	Where does the waste water go? I want to install this under my sink for an Insinkerator instant hot water unit. How do I connect it? To drain
Answer:	If you are going under the sink, you would want a drain saddle, they go on your drain plumbing under sink and feed the waste right down your drain.
Question:	What would I need to get for a 220 gallon tank
Answer:	People say that you should do a 10% to 15% water replacement weekly, or 20-30% if it is heavily stocked. If your tank is 220 gallons, you have 200 to 210 gallons of actual water in there, with the rest displaced by gravel, sand, decorations, or what have you, so we're talking about ~25 gallons a week, 50 if it is overstocked. The small RO buddy produces about 14 gallons per day (36 goes down the drain) and so that is sufficient to replace up to 168 gallons per week. I would highly recommend you have a 30 to 50 gallon tank laying around somewhere for the RO buddy to dump into, so that you can just siphon water from the catch tank to your sump weekly as you dump out the old water (makes great fertilizer).
Question:	How can i connect this to my faucet, the garden hose attachment is too big
Answer:	If you hook up often, i would recommend Spectrapure Quick Connect Faucet adaptor. It just snaps on and off, no screwing it on and off like the Lowes/HD type. More expensive but more convenient
Question:	can I add an additional membrane and housing to reduce wastewater
Answer:	Yes you can. Please contact us at 888-548-3480, Mon-Thurs 6:30am-3pm PST and we can help you. Ken / Aquatic Life USA

Designed to provide a reliable source of economical filtered water for aquarium use, all systems use Thin-Film Composite (TFC) Membranes in conjunction with Carbon and Sediment pre-filter cartridges to effectively and efficiently remove harmful substances such as heavy metals, total dissolved solids, Chlorine and particulate matter from tap water.

Upgrade to a 4-Stage With Our DI Resin Cartridge!

Both RO Buddie 3-Stage systems can be easily upgraded to a 4-Stage RO/DI system by adding our Deionization (DI) Color Changing Mixed Bed Resin Cartridge, Item #330242, sold separately. Our DI Cartridge is filled with Aquatic Life MBD-30-NG Nuclear Grade color changing mixed bed deionization resin.

Aquatic Life Drinking Water Add-On Kit for RO & RO/DI!

Amazon item B07371N7PT.

Add-on drinking water kit includes everything needed to convert your current RO or RO/DI unit to a drinking water system. Easy-to-install with our RO Buddie or Twist-In reverse osmosis systems. Pressurized tank and faucet are included, along with the parts needed to bypass the DI (deionization) stage of your current RODI system.

RO Buddie 50 GPD 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis/Deionization System

The 4-stage systems include our improved DI Color Changing Mixed Bed Resin Cartridge with MBD-30-NG Nuclear Grade resin. The Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-) in the DI cartridge media remove most of the remaining total dissolved solids (TDS) from membrane-filtered water, and produce purified water with an average conductivity value of ~0.1µS/cm.

Clear Color Changing DI Cartridge Removes Easily for Replacement!

The DI resin cartridge is refillable and has a clear housing so you know at a glance when the media needs to be replaced. Our new MBD-30 Nuclear Grade resin changes color from blue to yellow, then tan when the media is exhausted. Each DI Cartridge includes two clips that allow the cartridge to attach to the front of the membrane housing. Included Mounting Brackets hold the unit securely while mounted in a convenient location.

Quick Connections Make It Easy to Remove and Replace Cartridges

All RO Buddie Reverse Osmosis systems use Thin-Film Composite (TFC) Membranes in conjunction with Carbon and Sediment pre-cartridges to effectively and efficiently remove harmful substances such as heavy metal ions, dissolved solids (TDS), Chlorine and particulate matter from municipal tap water. The 4-Stage RO/DI system includes a DI resin cartridge to remove most remaining TDS.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone have trouble connecting to a Kohler faucet? How did you connect? I would have thought all typical adapters would have been included
Answer:	In theory you could create your own slides, if you have clear projector films cut down to the slide size. This kit doesn't provide blank projector films, though, as the purpose is more to allow children to trace existing pictures. You can trace the designs onto any kind of paper, so you could add to an existing picture using images from provided slides.
Question:	Is this for making rodi water for a saltwater tanks
Answer:	They are pre-loaded in the round discs.
Question:	About how much time does it take to make 5 gallons of clean water
Answer:	It smells more musky not sweet or citrusy. More like a strong flower smell.
Question:	can i connect this using the under sink connector that comes with the 100 gallon unit
Answer:	So far I have no complaints about delivery time.

4-Stage Filtration with a Twist

Making RO/DI water is easy with this unit. Simply plumb the unit with the included components and you're ready to make RO/DI water for your aquarium or humidifier. Add a few optional parts and this system is perfect for providing water to a refrigerator dispenser and ice maker. When it's time to replace the cartridges, simply Twist-Out the old cartridges and Twist-In the new ones. Tap the User Manual link below for examples on how to plumb and use this unit to its full potential.

Float Valve

The included Float Valve makes it easy to fill tanks, containers and aquariums automatically. The float can be adjusted as needed. Simply drill a 7/8" hole and install with the included hardware.

Auto Shut-Off Solenoid (ASO)

The included ASO and check valve will shut-off the wastewater line when the filtered water line is stopped. This means the RO/DI unit can be plumbed to a water tap or use the included float valve.

Specialty Plumbing Components

Special 90° Elbows make it easy to customize the installation of this RO/DI unit. This allows the unit to be used with an optional booster pump and/or pressure tank for drinking water applications.

The Membrane is the Heart

The 75 gallon per day membrane is the heart of the system. The membrane removes contaminants from tap water using a special semi-permeable membrane. By applying water pressure across the membrane, contaminants are concentrated on one side of the membrane and filtered water on the other side of the membrane. This is why reverse osmosis units have a wastewater line as well as a filtered line.
