Will this remove nitrates from water?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 15, 2024
The 3-stage RO Buddie will reduce the amount of nitrates in the water by 95-98%, but not eliminate them completely.

does this remove chloramines as well (In research there is a difference, and I know my source contains chloramines).

Answer by Chewy • Mar 17, 2018
This item does not remove chloramines.

Has anyone tested the water through the RO? What is the conductivity? What is the softness?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 12, 2018
The RO membrane is meant to remove 95% or more of the TDS in the supply water.

What’s the difference between the 50 gallon and 100 gallon systems?

Fantastic product without any bells and whistles

After flushing, test results show <1 dKH (<18ppm) GH and KH from the 3 stage, down from 12-14 strait from our faucet. Very easy to install, although I couldn't get

After flushing, test results show <1 dKH (<18ppm) GH and KH from the 3 stage, down from 12-14 strait from our faucet. Very easy to install, although I couldn't get a good seal on my old laundry tub sink and ultimately placed it in the kitchen. Must be watched closely, even better to set an alarm, as without a tank it's easy to overflow a container.

Already assembled

Very simple to install. The unit was pre-assembled which made it even simpler. Works great.

Not worth it

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

RO water for frogs

The system is pretty easy to assemble using the on line video, though written instructions are poor. I had it working in 20 mins.

Good product

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.
