Gone are the days of buying jugs of water for brewing! I’m installing a Buckeye Hydro RO (Reverse Osmosis) system to filter my tap water into virtually 100% pure water before adding my water salts to build a water profile for a particular beer. In this video, I show you how to install it and how it works!

I looked at the link to Buckeye and their Premium RO system is pictured with two hanging filters and the third one on top. You have three that hang down. What is the difference and is this an option that isn’t listed? Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I just picked up an RO system myself for the same reason that you did with buying water for brewing. It never occurred to me to use a float valve to regulate the system. I do not have my fully hooked up yet, but mine did come with a 4 gallon reservoir as well. Once my barn project is finished and I get a permanent brewing area I may install that so that there is a 4 gallon buffer for the start of the whole brew day.
