4040 Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane
Ultrafiltration (UF) Membranes are made up of Hollow Fibres that typically filter down to between 0.1 to 0.002 microns, depending on the grade of the UF Membrane. This is small enough to capture/remove fine sediment, particles, proteins, bacteria, and larger organic molecules. UF membranes will allow dissolved salts, minerals, and smaller organic molecules to pass through the membrane. So the UF Membranes will not change the mineral, salt, or hardness content of the source water in any way.
The 4040 UF Membrane (Flushable) is rated to filters down to 0.02 microns, and has a maximum flow rate of 1000 Litres Per Hour (LPH).
This UF Membrane should be replaced every 24 to 36 months*.
*Please keep in mind that in situations with poor source water quality the life span can be less, also failing to adequately flush the UF membrane can reduce its life span as well.
