Thank you for purchasing an Aquatic Life
RO Buddie® Reverse Osmosis System.
When maintained properly, this unit will
provide you with years of service.
OVERVIEW
Reverse osmosis is the process of removing
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. Therefore, reverse
osmosis units have a waste water
line as well as a filtered line.
In addition to the membrane, water is filtered
prior to the membrane with a sediment
cartridge to remove larger particulates, and
a carbon block to remove chlorine and other
materials.
With the RO Buddie +DI (Model # 540019), after
water is filtered by the membrane, it passes
through a color-changing resin cartridge
where additional total dissolved solids (TDS)
are removed from the water.
WARNING:
this unit, find out if you have
Chloramines in your water supply.
Contact your local water company
for this information. If you have
Chloramines, please refer to
page 19 prior to installing your
RO Buddie. Failure to do so may
result in a ruined RO Membrane
and poor filtered water quality.
WARNING:
that has been filtered with a DI resin
cartridge.
