Barrel Buddie
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Guide
Thank you for purchasing an Aquatic Life
Barrel Buddie™ Smart Fill Controller.
When maintained properly, this unit
will provide you with years of service.
OVERVIEW
The Barrel Buddie will monitor the water
level at both high and low points in your
barrel or container. When the lower sensor
detects the water level, the low voltage
solenoid will open and allow water to flow
into the container. When the water level
reaches the upper sensor, the solenoid
will close.
Unlike float valves or auto top-off systems,
the Barrel Buddie reduces TDS creep by
allowing the RO unit to only operate once
to fill the container. This will improve the
overall TDS in your collection container and
prolong the life of your DI resin if you are
using DI filtration.
There are additional features to the Barrel
Buddie, so please review this entire guide to
understand the benefits and requirements.
