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

Product features

You Pick the Connection Type

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 spigot.

RO Units Produce Filtered & Waste

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.

Collect your RO Water

The RO Buddie 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.

1/4" Tubing & Easy Connectors

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.

Translucent Sediment Cartridge

The one-piece sealed sediment cartridge housing is translucent, making it easy to view the condition of the filter media inside. No more guessing what your filter looks like!

Simple On, Simple Off

When you are ready to make RO water, simply turn on the faucet. When finished, turn off the faucet. Fill your bucket in the tub incase you forget and it overflows. Setting a timer makes remembering easier.

Live in the NYC Area?

Based on information presented in the most recent Water Quality Report, we suggest using an additional pre-filter for RO and RO/DI systems that use the NYC area water supply.

Are you on well water?

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.

Chloramines in your water?

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	How often do you have to change the RO membrane
Answer:	Hi! I use this system to get purified water for a big fish tank that I have so that said y can manage some ppm points above the drinkable line even though I have that gap I usually change the membrane every 3-4 months, once I had to change it faster due to a chemical that the water came with and busted the membrane but my technician says when the ppm start to raise from its stable point it’s time to think of replacement even when it’s not the time. Hope this helps!
Question:	Can i use in a house
Answer:	Yes! of course!
Question:	What is the waist to fresh water put out 2/1 or
Answer:	It’s 3 gallons of waste water for every 1 gallon.. but buy a ERP Pump or Water saver kit. It will lower the waste significantly ...
Question:	Can I use this water to Drink, make coffee , cook with? Etc
Answer:	You might find that it tastes different than you are used to. Deionized water has no minerals in it. Minerals are what gives water a taste. There may also be small amounts of deionizing resins left in the water. There shouldn’t be, but it’s possible. I don’t believe that it would hurt you though.

User questions & answers

Question:	one of the DI filters are leaking. Has anyone else had this problem
Answer:	The best way is to keep track of the gallons of water you make through the unit and follow these guidelines: Sediment cartridge removes particulate material found in tap water. Operating Life of 1,500 to 2,000 gallons depending on water quality. Carbon cartridge removes chlorine from most incoming tap water supplies for up to six months. Operating Life of 1,000 to 1,500 gallons depending on water quality. Membrane removes 95% of TDS and should be replaced every 1-2 years. The membrane may last longer if flushed regularly. For a 4-stage system the color changing mixed bed resin DI cartridge should be replaced when the resin changes completely to a tan color. Ken @ Aquatic Life
Question:	Flow restrictor is shown on the waste line but none was provided in the included parts. Is it required
Answer:	Yes it comes! Not extra just one round
Question:	I have water pressure of 100 will this damage the unit or just reduce its effectiveness
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	how far can the purified water tube extend? im trying to run it a few feet like about 50 give or take
Answer:	No. You would need to purchase a auto shut-off valve separately. Ken @ Aquatic Life USA
Question:	How do I know when the filter needs to be replaced
Answer:	I put the collar on my outside/inside cat and so far it has stayed on and seems to work fine. We use Zoguard for fleas and ticks but , the cat will still get ticks so we are trying the collar.
Question:	does it come with cartridges
Answer:	No it is not greasy
Question:	I have a 40-60psi well. Does the 100gph version also have a designed input pressure if 40-65 psi

User questions & answers

Question:	Where can I get filters and a new membrane for this system? Help appreciated
Answer:	Similar problem first time removing filter canister. Wiped threads clean and lubricated threds with a very small amount of silicone lubricant. Canister hand tightened an additional full turn and did not leak. Also insured sealing surfaces clean and not craked or deformed.
Question:	What is water to waste ratio
Answer:	You may want to double check your waste line, my unit came with it already installed on waste side. And yes, the flow restrictor is a must on ro systems as they create pressure throughout the membrane and maintain adequate reject and permeate flow.
Question:	What size is the tubing/hoses
Answer:	The unit came with a valve to control the pressure going into the unit
Question:	Where can I find replacement cartridges for this and how long should they be changed
Answer:	It comes with 10 foot tubing. Fifty sounds like a lot, but I can't see why you can't do it other than making sure it is one piece to avoid leaks. I will ask in a reef forum for you to be sure, but I would say as long as you're not trying to run the ouput tubing upstairs it should be okUPDATE: Nobody I asked has ever run more than 25 feet. Those who do let it run a few minutes before collecting water to make sure it's all "fresh". I think 50 is a lot, so maybe it's not quite that far? Why do you have such a long run? Mine is very short by design, but I could have put my RO/DI unit and my collection bucket in different places and would still not have more than 20 feet. If you could provide details I am happy to help if I can.
