Maximize Your RO System's Performance & Reduce Wastewater!

  • Boosts RO System Pressure for Increased Efficiency
  • Reduces Wastewater by Up to 65%
  • Built-in Auto-Flush & Pressure Safety Switches
  • Compatible with Most RO & RO/DI Units (50-100 GPD)
  • Simple Installation with Quick-Connect Fittings

 

The Aquatic Life Smart Buddie RO Booster is the ultimate upgrade for your reverse osmosis system, designed to enhance efficiency and water production. Reverse osmosis relies on pressure to function optimally, and if your home's water pressure is too low, it can compromise both performance and water quality. With the Smart Buddie, you can boost your RO system pressure up to 90 PSI, ensuring faster filtration, better rejection rates, and reduced DI resin consumption.

This intelligent booster pump automatically flushes the RO membrane, extending its lifespan while maintaining peak performance. It also features built-in high & low-pressure safety switches, protecting your system from damage. Plus, Buddie Fit press-fittings make installation a breeze.

Not for use with refrigerators, ice makers, or pressure tanks.

Product Questions

the flush/flow restrictor page suggests to use 800ml for 100gpd, this model has flow restrictor at 300ml, would it work for single ro membrane 100gpd? will it restricting too much and cause high pressure and damage ro membrane?
Question by: Tracy on Nov 10, 2025, 3:27 PM
Hi Tracy,

The ratings we have on our personal products may be rated a bit differently than that of Smart Buddies. Their system is constructed a bit more complex in comparison to our flow restrictors just being attached in line with the RODI system. I would recommend going along with the manufacture's guidelines.
Answer by: Kristen Macdougall (BRS Staff) on Nov 12, 2025, 10:39 AM
I am using a 150 GPD dual membrane RO/DI system (prefilter>chlorine/chloramine filter>2x75GPD membranes>DI>holding tank).
Can the unit be triggered manually to do a flush of the membrane or is it completely automatic?
Also, how does it decide on a flush? Back pressure? Gallons filtered? Time of use?
Finally, my system has the faucet kit (with reservoir), is this pump compatible with that?
Question by: OZ on Jun 5, 2025, 9:32 AM
Yes, the Smart Buddie flush is fully automatic. It is triggered by time, either every 24 hours or at power-up, not by back pressure or gallons filtered. There is no manual flush option. It is compatible with faucet kits and holding tanks.

Does Smart Buddie RO/DI Booster Pump - For 50-100 GPD Systems work with my RO 200 GPD system ?
Question by: Nat Le on May 23, 2025, 5:31 PM
Great question, that product will not work with that size system and will void the warranty.
Answer by: Emily B (BRS Staff) on May 30, 2025, 1:52 PM
If i am using a 150 GPD Water Saver RO/DI system, am i able to use this booster pump? Thanks!
Question by: Matthew on Apr 1, 2025, 3:07 PM
This booster pump is not going to work with water saver system. You will want to use the Aquatec 8800 booster pump kit.
Answer by: JJ K (BRS Staff) on Apr 5, 2025, 5:34 PM
I asked you a question via email today, but am at work, so unable to see if you responded. I am thinking you need more information in order to answer my question. The RODI unit I have is the 4-stage that produces 75 GPH, SKU 210772. So is this Smart Buddie the booster pump that I need to get? My psi is like 25. It's really bad. Please help ASAP.
Question by: Miriam Griffin on Mar 11, 2025, 11:03 PM
This booster pump would work with a 4 stage, 75 GPD unit :)
Answer by: Grace (BRS Staff) on Apr 26, 2025, 3:25 PM
Do you have one for 150 GPD?
Question by: Leo Morales on Feb 23, 2025, 1:32 AM
SKU 255858 will work for 150 gpd systems.
