These RO systems include the most important components of Reverse Osmosis systems, and also include the most popular set of accessories for optimum performance and operation. Premium RO units come assembled, and include: clear (BPA-free!) NSF certified housings, a 1-micron multi-layer poly depth sediment filter; a 0.5 micron, 20,000 gallon carbon block; Filmtec RO membrane (24 through 100 gpd), a heavy duty bracket, pressure gauge, drain saddle, housing wrench, and three 6-ft pieces of color-coded tubing for the feedwater, concentrate ("waste water"), and permeate ("RO Water").
We offer an expansive range of options and add-ons, some of which are described below and can be selected above. Not sure what options would be best in your situation? Need an extra stage? All our water treatment systems are built in our shop and can be customized. Please give us a call - we have a specialist waiting to talk with you!
RO Capacity Depending in large part upon which RO membrane is used, RO systems are configured to produce a specific number of gallons per 24-hour day. There are several things to consider when selecting the capacity best for your situation. If we consider a 75 gallon per day system for example, a bit of arithmetic shows the system will produce 3 gallons per hour. So although you may never need to produce 75 gallons of RO water in a day, most users will find a "gallons per hour capacity" more practical.
24 GPD = 1 GPH; 36 GPD = 1.5 GPH; 50 GPD = 2.1 GPH; 75 GPD = 3.1 GPH; 100 GPD = 4.2 GPH; 150 GPD = 6.3 GPH
These capacities will be met (+ 20%), if the feedwater meets factory specifications (see the table below). Also consider how well the various RO membranes clean the feedwater (a higher "rejection rate" results in cleaner RO water).
ASOV Kit Auto Shut Off Valves stop the flow of concentrate (a.k.a "waste water") when the flow of purified water is stopped by a separate valve (for example, a float valve). This Kit includes a check valve and ASOV (both plumbed in for you), and a float valve with built in bulkhead set to accept 1/4" tubing.
Flush Valve Routine use of a flush valve can help extend the useful life of the RO membrane. Options include a manual valve the user should open occasionally; or an automatic valve powered by a transformer (included) that opens once per hour for 18 seconds - giving you one less thing to remember to do!
TDS Meter These meters are an important tool in assessing the purity of your treated water. Both inline and handheld meters are available. See our Meters and Controllers for detailed descriptions of each. If you select an inline meter for your new RO system, we recommend the DM1 which allows the monitoring of TDS of 1) feedwater (tap water), and 2) RO water.
Feedwater Supply Fitting Feedwater Fittings are used to tap into your plumbing to supply water to the system. Depending upon where in your home or facility you install the system, we have a fitting that will work for you!
LeakBlock Sensor If you plan to install the Premium RO system in a location where a a leak would cause damage, consider adding a LeakBlock Sensor to stop the flow of water to the system if a leak were to occur
System Dimensions: Standard System measures 14" wide, 15" tall, and 7" deep. With added chloramine stage the system measures 15" wide, 15" tall, and 7" deep.

Very simple to set up using the supplied instructions. My supply water went from 273 TDS to 8 TDS and it makes great tasting water . My first thought was to use the RO water for brewing, but it’s great to have a gallon or two in the refrigerator for coffee and a cold drink. Great customer support and a great price.

This is the second RO unit that I've bought through Buckeye Hydro. The first was over five years ago. After changing cartridges and using the system constantly, I decided to replace the whole unit, even though the old one was still working. Shipping is quick and the instructions are easy to understand. I'm a home beer brewer, make wine, mead and grow edible mushrooms. In addition, I need clean water for a CPAP, so I go through a lot of RO water. This unit takes care of it all.
I highly recommend this unit and Buckeye Hydro. Great service with a great product.

I am a homebrewer of beer, and this is exactly what I needed. Easy set-up, great results.

I purchased the Premium RO system for my brewing and misc. RO water needs. Everything showed up quicker than expected (holidays) and packaged well. The instructions were easy to follow setting it up and I am beyond thrilled to be getting 2 ppm TDS!

The unit arrived in three days in good condition. Performance is great. It achieves over 98% removal at 4 gallons per hour. The dual TDS meters are a good option. The unit is a good value and customer service is excellent.

I use this for homebrewing water and it works great,

The RO system came well packaged. The majority of the tubing and connections were already plumbed (I wasn't expecting that), the bracketing and hardware was high quality, and after one careful read through of the thorough and clear instructions, I installed the remaining filters and tubing and flushed the system. Within one hour of unboxing, I was producing RO water with more than 10x reduction in TDS for my home brewery. Good to go, thanks!

Very well built, and the 2 big filters are a common size so if you ever need one in a big hurry the local hardware store will probably have one(for a steep price!).
Very good pricing, very fast shipping!

Buckeye walked me through step by step what I was looking to accomplish in my small home brewery. I just wish I had pulled the trigger sooner. Looking forward to much better beer from here on out.

It's been over six months since I installed my system for home brewing beer.
It's been working extremely well, the system has produces a few hundred gallons of water for brewing. TDS reads at 2 ppm, the same as day one. These guys at buckeye offer a great product, better advise and awesome service!
