rodi help

I just moved all of my tanks to a new location. Unfortunately, my BRS faucet adapter cannot connect to my faucets. Now I am left with two options, the Laundry hook ups or under the sink. I have NO clue what would work for under the sink with these type of fittings. And I’m not sure what...

I just bought my first RODI system (5 stage brs unit), and after connecting the nut to the black piece seen here to split the water and be able to still use the sink normally, I tested to see how tight it was and im glad i did because the section of tubing leading to the sink started spraying...

Hello, I live in a small apartment in NYC. I have two sinks, one bathroom and one kitchen. The bathroom has a small faucet that I am not sure I would be able to attach anything to and the kitchen is a more modern style faucet that does not have any room for attachments. I have attached pictures...

Hello! I just recently finished installing my RO buddie/ 4 stage RODI - I flushed the carbon, and membrane prior to use and everything is running well ( 0 TDS ) my only concern is the amount of waste water… I know that’s an odd thing to fuss about but hear me out… I recently replaced my old unit...

Today I decided to test the TDS coming from my 4 stage RO buddie and the TDS is reading 25PPM, I’m using a HM Digital COM-80 to measure the TDS (it might need recalibration?) the source water is testing at 167PPM, my corals all look healthy? The RODI unit is approximately 7 months old, I’m...

Hey all, I've had a 7-stage RODI system sitting in my storage unit for around a year and a half. I'd replaced all of the filter cartridges pretty recently before putting it away, so I wanted to see if anyone had been in a similar situation. Would there be any issues using it after sitting for...

So I live in Sweden and here, we do have really clean water that we drink. But I am really confused on if I should get a RODI system as we have really clean water and i've heard of some people here keeping corals without using one. I am new to the saltie hobby and just want to know if it's...

Hey all, I just installed my first rodi system and am having issues. I installed the system with no booster pump initially and was only getting about 40psi and still high tds. I added a booster pump to the system and now am somehow getting 30PSI. While getting 30PSI the auto shut off valve...

Hi All!! I'm rather new to the saltwater world, but starting to get the hang of it. I havd a 38 gallon tank with fish only for right now. Going to my LFS to get RODI water tends to be a pain and super inconvenient, so looking into getting a non-permenant RODI system that can hook up to a...

Hey all. After a long while I decided to use my own RODI system and mix my own salt so I don't have to go to the LFS every week. My RODI is pretty new, (I've had it for a couple years, but never used it) and a TDS meter reading out as 0. I've googled this, and can't seem to find a precise...

Flood guardian is a must if you make your own rodi into a container and sometimes forget to shutoff water. Got this just a few months before shutting my tank down so only used like twice. $35 shipped lower 48

Flood guardian only used a few months. A must for rodi $40 plus shipping

Hello! I'm very new to reefing and trying to learn about RO/DI. I found a used 7 stage for sale for $100. The seller is recommending that I drop about $80 on filter replacements if I purchase from them. The system is around 7 years old and has been expanded over time. This seems like a good deal...

Hey all, I have a 10 year old BRS DELUXE 6 stage RODI system. I added a second membrane for saving water a few years ago. Recently, I moved to a house with amazing water pressure and got 2xmembranes 100GPD. so now I have 200GPD. My TDS incoming from the city is 38. the water coming out of the...

Hoping you can help out a newbie, I am setting up my first tank and bought a 200 GPD RODI from BRS. When I set it up I noted that outflow was low and that my waste ratio was horrible. The pressure gauge on the RODI unit was showing about 30 PSI, which I understand to be low for RODI function, so...

Hey friends, Brand New to the hobby. Yes I already love it! Before I started I had a RO system in my home. This is what I currently have. Do I need to purchase one of those other RODI systems? It sure seems like what I currently have has everything sediment, carbon, post filter and membrane...

Hello, I am absolutely new to all this, just purchased a Red Sea 200 XL G2, 2 weeks ago. So the issue that I am having is with the RODI System its a AQUATICLIFE Aquatic Life RO Buddie Plus DI Four Stage Reverse Osmosis Deionization Unit 50 GPD I have attached a diagram of how they want the...

Hi looking for some help with troubleshooting RODI pressure. I’ve recently replaced all filter thinking this was the issue but I’m still getting close to 0 psi on gauge when making new water. The pressure gauge (glycerin type from BRS) is installed between last carbon stage and the entry into...

Hello, I am new hear, and I've used this forum to get up to speed. I recently made a mistake when mixing salt water... having some RODI waste water enter into the mix for just about a minute. I'm wondering if i've contaminated my batch of saltwater. I use a 40 gallon brute can to mix my...

Hello! Just wondering if anyone uses the Waterbox RODI systems? They are on sale right now and shipping is free: https://waterboxaquariums.ca/products/rodi?_pos=1&_psq=Ro&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=41528010047656 I was looking at the BRS ones but the shipping to Canada is pretty expensive. Just...

I am looking into mixing my own salt as my LFS store only offers TMC salt and it doesn't allow me to boost my KH or PH via the salt mix, so im thinking of moving to the red sea mix, however, I dont have a RODI unit and even if I do I would need to us it outside on a hosepipe and its winter right...

Hello! This is my first post and my first reef tank. my tank is 2-3 months old and I have diatoms all over the tank sand. When I siphoned it during my last WC, it came right back. Most likely it’s just the ugly phase however I’m wondering if there’s any possibility it could be my water. The...

Hey everyone, I am hoping that one of you has experienced something similar and can give me some clarification. I am looking at getting an RO/DI filter to start making my own water, those trips to and from the fish store are getting old already. My only concern is that I have well water at my...

Hey guys, I picked up a new RO unit a week ago and got a separate DI canister and hooked it up. I haven't been able to get 0 TDS, after RO is 2 TDS and after DI still 2 TDS. Am I missing something? Tap water is 70 TDS. I picked up all the equipment from a LFS.

Okay. I’m super confused. I have a BRS 4 stage plus unit. I stopped reefing for a bit and now I’m back into it. Setting it up. I have my blue line going to my brute can leaving the last section of the unit. My red line is the supply connecting to the entrance or first stage of the unit. The...
