I’m just setting my RODI unit up mate, wasn’t sure about it but your video has really helped, cheers 👍
Hello mate, thank you, im glad it was helpful, hope you got set up ok, if you have any questions then please let me know!
Great video and RO units , just got my Aquati RODI unit installed today , water is back to 000 TDS , my fish will be happy , quality unit and a must have for marine fish keepers, if you want to keep marine fish a good quality RO water is essential, and it saves having to carry containers from the LFS 👍🐟🐟🐟💦💦💦
Thanks Ian, I couldn't agree more, absolutely love the Aquati units, they are well made and affordable, what more could you want? im glad I no longer have to go to the LFS for water and can just make my own, best thing I've done! Thanks for watching the video 👍
Great in-depth video dude. By far the best I've seen on this unit
Thanks mate, wanted to show what was involved in setting it up, probably the best thing I've done, no more trips to the LFS to get water now!
Great update Ross. Really nice walkthrough 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks mate, its a great bit of kit, im really impressed with it!
An awesome step-by-step tutorial video, easy to follow and set-up after watching your video. I'm most impressed with that RO unit - rock solid at 0 TDS. Love the channel and the content.
Thanks Jay, really appreciate it, wanted to try and make it as easy as possible for people to follow and set up their own one, the unit is brilliant, really well made and does exactly what it should!
@@BeardedReef Hey I just bought this unit, in says 370 out it says 350. What am I doing wrong? Its brand new???
@@davidmurphy4672 you must have it connected up wrong then mate, drop me a message on instagram with some photos and I will help you out
@@BeardedReef I connected somthing wrong. My TDS dropped to 8 but I ran it for hours and it wouldn't drop further almost flooded my back yard. I contacted support I need two main membranes for my trash water source.
Just orderd one Ross cheers for heads up mate see you next Friday
Nice one mate, you won't regret it, brilliant units! If you need a hand with anything just let me know, looking forward to this Friday, should be a good one, see you then! 👍
pro trick : watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Marvin Tadeo Yup, been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)
Fantastic and intuitive video mate , probably one of the best I've seen, people will have no problems setting up one of them , down where I am I'd definitely need a booster pump as the pressure is shocking bit yours is incredible, fantastic video on the aquati RO filter system 👍👍
Thanks mate, I know it went on for a while but wanted to do it step by step to show how easy it was, yeah I think im lucky with having good water and good water pressure up here. It's a fantastic unit and does exactly what I need it to do!
My tap water tds is about 70 , ill just need to flush it through properly , thanks for the info mate and thanks to @aquati for the di pod they gave me
No problem mate 👍
Great video👌... you can smirk at the others from the live stream having to drag their water in and out of their cars now 😂😂
Thanks mate! Haha yeah the spotless water crew! No bad back for me now haha! It's probably the best thing I've done, so much easier to make your own, you also know exactly what's in it, im really impressed!
Great video Ross! 👍
Will be refering to this when setting mine up this weekend!
Nice you went for the 150 GPD unit, thinking ahead! 😅
Thanks mate! Hopefully you get on ok! Yeah I wanted to go for the highest GPD so I wasn't waiting ages on it making water, if you need a hand with anything just ask!
Great video, I’ve just placed an order for one, thanks for your help 😎
Thank you, you will love it, if you have any questions just ask!
Excellent video
Thanks Nick 👍
Great video, very informative. Looks like a well thought out, quality product. Is there the facility to back flush the RO membrane?
Be interested to see what TDS the waste hose is putting out. You can get inline TDS meter from Amazon to see what each stage is doing. That way you can tell which stage needing replaced.
Yeah I had looked at the in line meters, can get them with 2 sensors or 3, im thinking of getting the 3 sensor one so I can measure the tds of the water going in, after the 3rd stage and then water going out, I will measure the waste water next time I'm making some and let you know! Just made 70L yesterday
I’ve just had one of these plumbed in and I don’t know if maybe it wasn’t done correctly but the water is measuring higher in TDS than straight from the tap I’d love some advice also the water just piddles out no pressure at all !!
Great video and used it to setup mine. Quick question. Only had mine a month. Other than filling up my 375ltr tank I have probably made a further 100 ltrs of water. My TDS readings were zero at the start but tested today and was getting 7ppm . Should I replace all filters now or am I doing something wrong. When you use yours do you drain all the water out after or just flush it through the next time you use it?
I see a lot of units have a back pressure valve fitted, does this system not need one?, great tutorial, thanks
Yeah it does need one, it has one fitted, they all need a flow restrictor to work correctly, thank you
@@BeardedReef I have bought a 6 stage from the same company. where is the back pressure valve, as i cant see it on your video
Thanks
@@grahamwhitehead5629 it will be on the back of the unit at the top, it will be a small white piece in line, I can't message on here or send a photo to show you but you will definitely have it on yours
If you have a flush kit fitted it will be beside that
Problem I have is how to know what my water pressure is to run that type of rodi and second is if I used the 75 model with a second membrane. what do you think of the auto flush kit or isn't it worth it
The flush kit is well worth getting to prolong the life of your membrane
Can I ask how you found out your water pressure as I'm thinking of getting the same but with an extra membrane
I purchased a water pressure gauge to go in line before the RODI unit, you can purchase them on ebay with the correct push fittings for RODI units
Will the Aquati 3 stage be sufficient for marine aquarium?
I have one of there just had it plumbed in and I’ve used a TDS to measure pureity .. the water is higher in contamination than stray from the tap !
Is there something I can do ?
Thank you Georgia
Hello, that's not possible so you must have set it up wrong, can you send me a photo of your set up on Instagram and I will be able to help
@@BeardedReef I’ve just had a look at your video and mine is hooked up under the sink ! For drinking water !
That’s what I thought it was for !

Hi mate, i cant find this system on the aquati website. Looking to get one for myself, any information will be helpful. thanks!
Hi, I have the same product, I have unclipped the blue clips, but can't remove the white stopper to attach the tubing... Any tips please
There is a little collar you need to push back, while doing that then you push the white stopper in a little and then pull it out, its a locking mechanism to stop the tubing coming out
@@BeardedReef excellent, thank you, your video was a godsend, thank youv
No problem, glad it was of some use!
Might need to invest in one of these at somepoint down the line
They are really good mate, I think Aquati are one of the cheapest out there yet the quality of them is spot on! You get 10% off with my code and free delivery too! Makes things so much easier making your own water!
@@BeardedReef Ye they were 1 of the cheapest i found when looking into them before I started but never got one , is that the £62 one you got ?
Mines is the 150gpd 5 stage rodi unit mate, you certainly won't regret getting one!
@@BeardedReef i should only need the 50gpd one i think
Just depends how long you are willing to wait for it to fill a container, and also depends on your water pressure, I would recommend getting the highest GPD membrane that you can so it goes quicker, mines fills a 25L container in around 1 hour 45mins
Can you have an auto shut off in the vessel you are putting the RO water into so the unit can stay permanently plumbed in and just take water and when you need?
Yeah you can do, most people use a float switch style shut off for them!
Hi, thanks for the video. Mine is nearly set up( just flushing), do you leave the waste water open all the time or close it with a inline valve. My last 3 stage had the blue valves so I’m not sure
You just leave the waste water open all the time while using the unit
@@BeardedReef cheers I will do
I didn’t get the blue and white valve with my kit? 🙄
Yeah thats correct, you don't get them with the kits, I bought mines from Amazon and added them myself as it's not something you need for the unit to work
@@BeardedReef ahh I see! I have mine hooked up to the bathroom tap anyway so theres no need 😂 I’m surprised at how quickly it’s filling my 25l! I need to try and save the waste water though
Ps this video really helped! 👌
Nice one thats brilliant mate, im glad the video was if some help to you!
Hi Ross, where did you get the garden hose pipe connector from?
Hello mate, you can get them from Ebay, I can't send links on here but can send on instagram if you drop me a message
How long can you leave the RO unit off? as you will be making lots of water with that unit. I know the RO membrane can get blocked if left, I think if it goes dry? Not sure
I leave it off for a couple of weeks at a time but I flush it through before and after every use and I close all the valves to seal in the water so it's never left dry
do you have to take something out of the stage 4 part no water wants to come out of mine even with boost pump
Have you removed the shipping plugs and fitted the hoses?
@@BeardedReef ? all linked up how should be tryed it only waste water came out so got a booster pump still dont want to come out a drip or 2 thx
Can you drop me a message on instagram with some photos of the system please mate and I will see if I can see anything
@@BeardedReef yh thanks for the help
Hi, I am ordering the same RO unit today. Could you let me know which connector you purchased to screw into the RO unit garden adapter unit. It;s around 8:14 of your video.
Hey, yeah I got the hose to RO fitting from ebay, the kit from Aquati comes with a garden tap adapter but I wanted to plug mines into the hose so I went on ebay and searched for "HOSE - RO CONNECTOR" if you do the same you should find it, don't forget when you order the RO unit to use the discount code "beardedreef10" for 10% off! Thanks for watching the video!
hi lovely video thanks, how would you keep it under pressure, so the membrane dose not dry out, for next use, ive subbed to your channel, cheers mate
Hello mate, thanks for the sub, I have added small 1/4" push fit valves on the inlet, drain and outlet that I close every time to keep the system wet, you can get them from Aquati or on Amazon
@@BeardedReef thanks for your reply, would it be possible if it can be show on a future video, im a bit of a novice, sorry for the trouble. thanks
Yeah of course mate not a problem at all!
Stupid question mate, if you don't mind. I managed to get approximately 82 litre of RO leaving it overnight switched off around 3.15 am. my TDS was 0 I have just started to mix in the salt and the TDS is now jumping off the scale. Is this normal? Many thanks.
Yes, you only measure the tds of the RO water, tds is total dissolved solids, you are now dissolving salt in it so use a refractometer to check your salinity levels mate
@@BeardedReef great. I suspected as much but freaked when I saw the reading 🤣🤣 got the refractometer salinity not quite there yet, but not far off . Thanks again mate
@@leebfc1901 no problem mate
Ross, how are you getting on with the RO unit now you have had it for a few months? How do you know its time to change the various filters?
I've had it for about 8 or 9 months now and to be honest I love it, does everything it's supposed to do, it's a great unit, ive changed the filters after 6 months, it didn't need them changed but I did anyway, when the tds starts to read above zero then its time to change
@@BeardedReef I have been debating with myself (sounds like a sex offence) If to get one. It would be nice to have an install TDS meter on the product water.
I'd say it's well worth getting one, I have my tds measuring the incoming water and then the product water, they really are great bits of kit, works out cheaper than buying LFS water all the time too!
I have a more recent video on changing the filters that shows my set up a little better
@@BeardedReef I will have a watch, thanks!
Thanks for this. I had a nightmare getting hold of Aquati yesterday.. In fact only heard from them today. I bought the 50GPD from them, my water is dripping out. I am sure my water pressure is fine, I turn on my tap and if I put it on too fast I get soaked. So why would my out put be so low if my pressure is ok?
I have a slight leak on the tap connector, but would this affect it so much? I have bought a replacement for the one that came with it as the push connecter snapped, due to the instructions being so poor.
All in all not a great experience, but it's now sort of set up and I just need to resolve the flow issue. as it would take a week to make 25 litres the way the flow is. I don't want to have to fork out another 50 to 60 quid for a booster pump so do you have any tips on how I can improve the flow? Once the new connector is on, would this perhaps make a difference?
Thanks, this is a very good video, easy to follow, I would suggest that Aquati start to put this link on their instruction manuals, as if I found this yesterday, perhaps the connector would have survived. As it stands the instructions I received were woeful your little leaflet looked to have a lot more detail than mine, which was only 5 lines of text.
Hi Lee, thanks for the comment, glad the video was useful, the big issue with RODI units is that they need optimal water pressure to produce what they say they will produce, I also tell people to always buy the biggest one possible, even at peak performance with the best water pressure (almost impossible to achieve) a 50gpd unit will only produce 7 to 8 litres per hour at an absolute maximum, I went for the 150gpd and mines fills a 25L container in around 1 hour 45mins, that works fine for me but I know if the water pressure is slightly lower that this can cause issues, any leaks at all will also slow it down so I would definitely solve those issues, unfortunately as you went for the 50gpd the only thing I can suggest is to fix the leaks, add a booster pump (still restricted by membrane size so might only get 10L per hour), or buy a bigger membrane (150gpd)
Sorry to hear you had such a hard time, if i can help with anything else just let me know, you can also message me on instagram too
@@BeardedReef Thank you for your reply. I didn't know much about these to be honest I did a bit of research and as I only have a nano (20G/94l) tank, the water changes weekly would only be around 30l (allowing for rock and substrate). So I thought a 50GPD would be sufficient. I thought my pressure was ok as I say it really flies out of the tap.
I will solve the leak later when I get the new connector and see how my flow improves. Once I am ready to change the filters etc, I will consider upgrading the membrane at the same time, I am simply on a very tight budget.
I will also look at getting a booster pump, would you advise just getting the 150 pump ready for when I upgrade the membrane? Or will this cause damage to the current membrane?
Many thanks for your help, much appreciated.
No problem mate, I have the 15g peninsula mini which is around 50L and I went for the 150gpd after doing a bit of research on the speeds, I change 10L a week plus my ato uses around 5L of RODI water per week, hopefully the leak helps out a bit mate and it gets better, did you flush the unit as I showed in the video? Might be a bit better after doing that? As for the pump I'm.really not sure mate, the 150gpd pump might just destroy the filters or burn out the pump, ive always read to match the pump to the membrane but again I'm no expert, you could maybe sell your 50gpd unit and buy the 150gpd? Did you get the 5 stage one? If so you should be able to just swap out the membrane (stage 4)
@@BeardedReef hi mate thanks again. Yes I got the 5 stage and yes I did flush the system. Ill sort the leak and see how it goes. Maybe I'll just put up with the flow till I change the filters then upgrade to the 150 and get the pump to match. If I sold the unit, I'd simply be selling as used and get less than half. So I think I'll have to wait. The only other way is if the membrane is sold on its own and I get that along with the pump if my flow is still super low. Thanks again.
@@leebfc1901 I'm sure you can buy the membranes for around £30, plus you get my discount off of it too mate
That is the best RODI video I’ve seen mate and I’ve watched loads!! You made it look so easy! I’m actually going to order one of these. Check your Insta DM’s as I’m probably going to need help 😄 Looking forward to the stream Friday 😀👍🏽
Thanks mate, really appreciate that, I thought I dragged it on for too long but wanted to make it as clear as possible, they are great units, ive been really impressed, plus who doesn't love a discount and free postage haha! Yeah mate that's no problem, feel free to ask any questions you want! Thanks again! See you Friday! Should be a good one! 👍
