1. Is there any benefit to using Membrane Filtration instead of the standard multi-media filtration?
|
|
|
|
< Back to Top
The Membrane Filter removes suspended solids down to .01 micron as well as other contaminants such as bacteria and some viruses. Multi-media filters (MMF) / cartridge filters will only remove suspended solids to approximately 1-5 micron. When feeding an RO unit, the MF system will significantly reduce the bio-fouling and reduce the SDI to below 1.

2. Is filtration necessary ahead of the RO membrane?
|
|
|
|
< Back to Top
Yes, small particulate matter will embed itself into the first element of the RO array. This will reduce the life of this element as well as increase the pressure drop through the RO unit.

3. What is the life of Ultrafiltration membrane?
|
|

|
< Back to Top
The Ultrafiltration membranes will last between 3 to 5 years.

4. How long between cleaning cycles of the Reverse Osmosis Membrane?
|
|
|
|
< Back to Top
The RO membranes utilized in the Enhanced Membrane System will only require cleaning once or twice per year.
