It's good to know that you can use the waste water. I looked at this on Amazon... still not going for it yet. I do appreciate the content. Really enjoying the channel.

Man I love your video style and editing, you deserve way more subs! This video is super helpful, I just got my RO Buddie in today and I wasn't completely sure about the chloramine situation! For those in the comments debating on buying this VS buying distilled at the grocery, buying distilled water will add up much quicker than just buying one of these, I promise.

Thank you for the video, I just did my second change on this system and it’s been working great until right now, my sediment cartridge turned completely black when I was flushing out the system and no filter watered is being produced but waste water is coming out yellowish brown, I use this for my salt water tank would you have any suggestions on what i could’ve done wrong?

Is your source water really high TDS? Sounds like the cartridge got exhausted really quickly.

Love your videos! Hey I would like to point out that a true RO system does actually remove Chlorine AND chloramine. It’s actually one of the two main reasons to have this in a home to remove the disinfectant used by the city. The membrane only allows molecules the size of water through. Chloramine molecules are too large to fit through the membrane.

The carbon filter can remove some, but the RO membrane does not filter out chloramine.

Yes! Words! I use RO for a "black water" tank I have for licorice gourami. I don't own a filter but rather buy refills of ro water from a local water store. Really affordable for one small tank. Though the ph ranges from 7.5 to 7.8, where my local tap water is around 7.2. I'm sceptical about the ro filtration and am considering buying distilled water instead. Higher price but for one small tank I hardly visit the store, maybe once a quarter.

The sediment and carbon are every 6 months I believe, the DI is when it gets discoloured and the RO membrane is supposed to be every 2-3 years.

Pros and cons to both. A distiller is going to use more power and take more time, an RO unit requires expensive filter changes every 6-12 months.

Aight I bought the RO buddie like you told me to do through video indoctrination, right? But now I need to use the male/male plastic faucet adapter that comes with it and holy crap it s so hard to remove i need a wrench each time and I think the threads wont survive for long unless I find some clever trick to remove it from my faucet without using a wrench. But unlike you I made my own T shaped structure with wood to anchor the RO Buddie to it so I can easily carry it around and put it anywhere I want lol, just missing a handle on it if I ever wanna go fancy to step up my DIY game!

I’ve had this RO Buddie for months and I tried to set it up and it wasn’t fitting on any of my sinks! Someone told me I had to unscrew and remove the aerator on the sink. ( what do I know im a single woman) 😂it’s still in the box like 6 months later but I’m glad you made this video. Maybe I’ll give it another go! I tend to make things more complicated than the are.🤦🏻♀️

Yup that's all you have to do. grab some vice grips or something and remove the end of your tap from the faucet so that you can see the threads and just screw the adapter on. that said, if you have an ugly wash basin like i have it's best to use those lol

@BobMossNanoTanks
Жыл бұрын
the pH on RO water is negligent. It's going to swing wildly between each reading as there is nothing to buffer the pH. In normal water, the KH value is what buffers the pH and in our caridina tanks it's the substrate that does it. That's why we add minerals back into it to reach the desired TDS and pH.
