Aquatic Life RO Buddie 3 Stage RO 50 GPD

The Aquatic Life RO Buddie 50 GPD  3-stage reverse osmosis (RO) systems feature unbelievable affordability and functionality, all in a very compact design. Designed to provide a reliable source of economical filtered water for aquarium use, all systems use

Thin-Film Composite (TFC) Membrane RO cartridges in conjunction with Carbon and Sediment cartridges to effectively and efficiently remove harmful substances such as heavy metal ions, dissolved solids (TDS), Chlorine and particulate matter from municipal tap water. 

Features:

3 Stage (50 GPD):

• REDUCES TDS FROM WATER – This reverse osmosis water filtration system includes a Sediment, Carbon, and RO Membrane. It effectively removes up to 98 percent of the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water.
• MEMBRANE FILTRATION – The RO membrane filter reduces impurities (TDS) from the water down to 1 out of 10,000 of a micron, reducing arsenic, lead, parasitic cysts, copper, and more.
• EFFECTIVE SEDIMENT REMOVAL – The 5-micron sediment filter captures and reduces unwanted particulate material such as sand, silt, and rust from water which affect the taste and appearance of your water.
• CARBON FILTER REDUCES CHLORINE – The second stage of your reverse osmosis water filter is a Carbon Block Filter. The 5-micron activated carbon filter reduces chlorine and conditions the water prior to the RO membrane filter.
• FRESH TASTING CLEAN WATER – The AquaticLife RO Buddie is a 3-stage reverse osmosis deionization system designed for residential use. Produce up to 50 gallons of filtered water that tastes fresh and is clean from contaminants.

Notes: 

These notes are written by aquascaping.in with many years of experience on selling Aquatic Life USA products and long term feedback from the customers, this is at all useful for you might save you time and efforts and also increase the life of your RO System or give you a better performance:

Case 1:

There is lot of sedimentation in the water such as brown particles which is usually due to high iron in water, or dust which is due to high contamination in tap water

• In such case we have faced issue and feedback from mainly Kolkata (West Bengal) and well as some other parts of India that there is high sedimentation due to Iron, it it highly recommended to install a Pre Filter Single Clear 10-Inch Canister w/Tubing, this will pre filter all the sediments but also is very economical compared to changing the cartridge of the system, hence increasing the light of your RO system as well as adding another layer of filtration. Note: This is not needed if you water is not high in iron or dust.

Case 2:

Some hobbyists want to remove remove Chloramine & Chlorine directly from water via RO system, specially hobbyist who have sensitive fishes / shrimps:

• In such case you can install a Classic Carbon Plus Chloramine 10" Cartridge with Single Clear 10-Inch Canister w/Tubing

Case 3:

I have very high TDS water, above 1800 TDS, will this system work ?

• We have successfully installed RO systems in areas such as Chennai and many parts of Gujrat which have very high TDS sometimes even above > 2000 TDS, our experience has been good, but you should be mentally prepared that the the membrane life will shorten, and it is very highly recommended to use a pre filter Single Clear 10-Inch Canister w/Tubing . Usually in Chennai membrane lasts for about 2-2.5 years without high impact. Now for 0 TDS we definitely mentally prepare the client for higher Di resin usage compared to any other areas in India, but you will surely get 0 TDS water consistently.
