Galley Mate Kwik Change 4-Stage 50 GPD Reverse Osmosis System

Galley Mate Kwik Change RO is the four-stage under-sink reverse-osmosis system listed by Yacht-Mate as the 50 GPD model. Quarter-turn cartridges and built-in shutoff and check valves simplify filter changes. An installation kit is included; select the tank and faucet configuration for your galley.

Four-stage RO with quick-change servicing

The Galley Mate Kwik Change system is intended for an under-sink drinking-water installation. Its cartridge heads and manifold combine the main connections in a compact assembly, reducing the number of external tube connections. The four-stage configuration is offered under the Yacht-Mate 50 GPD product name.

Practical cartridge access

Cartridges attach with a quarter-turn rather than screwing into separate filter bowls. Internal shutoff valves stop flow as cartridges are removed, while check valves between elements help prevent backflow. Double O-ring seals are part of the cartridge design. Leave clearance to turn and remove the cartridges when planning the cabinet.

Order the correct configuration

Yacht-Mate offers tank and faucet choices, including chrome, brushed nickel or no faucet. Match the selected tank to the available space. Confirm the membrane label and rated production with the order before sizing water demand or buying replacement elements. A 50 GPD product name should not be used to identify a replacement membrane by appearance alone.

Operation and maintenance

The system includes an installation kit. Use the model-specific instructions for the freshwater feed, storage tank, faucet and reject-water drain. Replace cartridges with the matching quarter-turn type. The Watts reference documents distinguish 50 and 100 GPD assemblies and their replacement elements, so confirm the exact OEM code before applying a parts list.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

How do I confirm the Galley Mate Kwik Change RO capacity before ordering?

Ask Yacht-Mate to confirm the membrane and OEM model code on the proposed system. The product is sold under a 50 GPD name, and the exact membrane configuration must govern sizing and replacement-part selection.

Do I need tools to open filter bowls on Galley Mate Kwik Change RO?

There are no separate filter bowls to open. Each cartridge connects directly to the head with a quarter-turn. Leave enough room below the assembly for removal and check the seals during servicing.

Can I buy any Watts quick-change cartridge for Galley Mate Kwik Change RO?

No. Match the cartridge and membrane to the installed OEM model. Watts documents different 50 and 100 GPD assemblies and replacement elements; the brand and quick-change description alone do not establish compatibility.

Can I order Galley Mate Kwik Change RO without a new faucet?

Yacht-Mate lists a no-faucet choice as well as chrome and brushed nickel. Confirm that the existing drinking-water faucet and tubing suit the RO installation before selecting that option.

Will Galley Mate Kwik Change RO stop water flow when I remove a cartridge?

The listed heads contain internal shutoff valves, and the manifold has check valves between elements. Follow the supplied cartridge-change instructions and allow for a small amount of residual water during servicing.
