The Product Description highlights the key features. You can easily connect the system to your kitchen or bathroom sink by simply removing the aerator and using one of the included adapters to convert to a standard garden hose thread. The included hose-to-1/4" tubing adapter allows for convenient setup.

All RO units produce both filtered water and concentrate water. The concentrate water, which has a higher concentration of total dissolved solids, can be safely used for watering plants. The RO Buddie+DI model can produce up to 2 gallons of filtered water per hour, making it ideal for use in aquariums, humidifiers, and specialty plants.

The 1/4" tubing and easy-to-use connectors simplify the plumbing process. The translucent cartridges allow you to visually monitor the sediment buildup and the color change in the DI resin, indicating when it's time for replacement.

The system is designed for simple operation – just turn on the faucet to start producing RO/DI water, and turn it off when you're done. To avoid potential overflow, it's recommended to use a bucket or timer to keep track of the process.

For users in the NYC area, it's suggested to use an additional prefilter for RO and RO/DI systems due to the water quality in the region. For well water users, it's important to check for the presence of CO2, as it can quickly deplete the DI resin cartridge.

The RO Buddie carbon cartridge removes chlorine from tap water, but it does not remove chloramines. If your water contains chloramines, it's recommended to check with your water company or test your water before making a purchase.

The RO Buddie product line offers various models to suit different needs. The RO Buddie+DI model can produce up to 50 gallons per day (GPD) of zero-TDS water, while the RO Buddie 50, 75, and 100 models have maximum filtered water productions of 50 GPD, 75 GPD, and 100 GPD, respectively.

All models require an ideal supply water pressure of 65 PSI and a temperature of 77°F. The filtration stages include a sediment filter, carbon filter, and DI resin (for the RO Buddie+DI model). The sediment and carbon filters should be replaced every 1,500 gallons of supply water or every 300-400 gallons of filtered water, depending on usage.

Customers have rated the RO Buddie products highly, with an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars across the various models. The systems are suitable for a range of applications, including saltwater and freshwater aquariums, hydroponics, and general water purification needs.
