How it Works
-
Stage 1- Sediment Cartridge: Incoming water first passes through a Sediment Cartridge, which removes particulate matter often found in tap water.
-
Stage 2- Carbon Cartridge: After particulates and debris are removed from the water, it then passes through a Carbon Cartridge where chlorine, chloramines, and other impurities are removed or neutralized.
-
Stage 3- RO Membrane: The final stage of purification occurs when water travels through the semipermeable thin film composite (TFC) membrane, removing any remaining solutes.

Not worth it
By jazz on Mar 13, 2021
Doesn't change water ph. Local water is high ph this doesn't lower it in the slightest.. seems more like a Britain filter than RO

Good product
By LeeHilton on Feb 8, 2020
Have had it for about 4+ minths now and it works good. Uses a lot of water, its slow to fill and our water here isn't great. Its hooked right up to a sink and goes right into the tank of choice thou. It was easy to hook up, wasn't broke, and doesn't leak. Had a small leak at first but that was due to the sink, and if you try to pull the line too tight it can cause a leak. Both were easy fixes.

RO water for frogs
By Jenny on Apr 28, 2020
The system is pretty easy to assemble using the on line video, though written instructions are poor. I had it working in 20 mins.

Unhappy about this product!
By Newfishguy on Dec 2, 2019
The slide in water connections leak, the top 90 degree fitting broke! Not chewy fault, just not good quality built product. Wasted alot of water using this system!

It broke before I could even follow the included instructions
By Chris on Apr 6, 2018
(Kudos to chewy.com- geez was the shipping fast!) as soon as I took this filter out of the box and read the included setup instructions and began the initial flushing process. Once I unscrewed the cap of the membrane housing lid and placed the membrane in to flush and the tiny 90 degree elbow came partially unseated and now water is leaking all over the place.

Great product
By Discusman on Feb 21, 2018
I was going to get one of the high dollar systems, but thought I would give this one a try, could not beat the price and I’m glad I went with this one instead. Saved a ton and it works great!

Excellent Product and Price

Excellent product for an affordable price. Very Fast shipping and Great customer service. No need to waste money on a more expensive RO system. We tested the water and the RO Buddie did everything it claimed. Very impressed!

Great purchase
By Slots on Aug 17, 2017
Clear, easy instructions to put the minor components together. Was making RO water the same day it arrived. Fast, free delivery. Second time I have ordered from Chewy for general supplies or food for salt water aquarium and dogs. Will order from Chewy again.
