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 ltered water on the
other side of the membrane. Therefore,
reverse osmosis units have a waste water
line as well as a ltered line.
In addition to the membrane, water is ltered
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 ltered by the membrane,
it passes through a color-changing resin
cartridge where additional total dissolved
solids (TDS) are removed from the water.
WARNING: Do not drink water that has
been filtered with a DI resin cartridge.
WARNING: Please read carefully before
proceeding with installation. Your failure
to follow any attached instructions and
operating parameters may lead to the
product’s failure.
