## Description

desertcart.com : Aquatic Life RO Buddie Aquarium Filter Replacement Cartridge Set – 3 Pack (Sediment, Carbon, Color-Changing DI Resin) – Inline Cartridges for Clear, Safe Aquarium Water : Pet Supplies

Review: Space saving RODI system - I've been using the rodi buddy for a couple years now. It's perfect. It's small, easy to change filters, cheap compared to what you see on BRS. Take maybe 45min to fill a 5 gallon bucket. Always reads 0 on the TDS meter. When you see 1 on the TDS meter it is time to change the charcoal filter. I need to mention the TDS meter is sold separately but should be bought when purchasing the rodi buddy. Prestine water quality and simple functionality.
Review: Great RO/DI unit - Have had this filter for quite a while. Once my second set of filter cartridges. Consistently give me 1 TDS output. Combine that with the price and it's hard to beat. Its only 50 gal per day, but I have 3 nano reef, so it's not a problem for my needs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the other filter that is needed for the rodi unit?**
A: Rodi has a 3 system unit and a 4 system unit 
And a 5 system unit.
A 3 system unit is sufficient enough !

**Q: Does the 3-pce bundle include clips for the di resin cartridge to attach to the ro buddy?**
A: No, the replacement cartridge bundle does not include the clips to attach the resin to the membrane housing. This is intended to be a replacement cartridge pack and you use the same clips that came with the RO Buddie. If you purchased the RO Buddie without the DI in the beginning, you can always purchase the add-on inline resin cartridge and it includes the clips. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DSP57BQ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_YYTHDS5Q1P6SQ607Q5NJ

**Q: Is thos 100 gpd or is it 50 gpd**
A: This is for the RO Buddie+DI 50 gallon per day model.

**Q: Can I use water right away or do I need to flush?**
A: It’s always important to flush the carbon cartridge incase there are any carbon fines from the cartridge manufacturing process. Flushing the carbon cartridge for a few minutes prior to installing the membrane and DI cartridge will ensure any possible carbon doesn’t plug the membrane.
