Inline Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane - Flushable Type
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 Inline UF Membrane (Flushable-Type) is rated to filter down to 0.2 microns, and has a maximum flow rate of 540 Litres Per Hour (LPH).
This UF Membrane can be backwash (flushed), to remove the contaminants captured on the hollow fibre membrane surfaces, if done regularly it can help to extend the life span of the UF membrane. As a result, this UF membrane should have a lifespan of 12 24 months*, provided regular backwashing is done.
*Please keep in mind that in situations with poor source water quality, the life span can be less.
Fittings for Flushable Type Inline UF Membrane (Required for the first time use of this membrane)
The Flushable type inline UF membrane requires 1/4" Fittings to use, if you do not already have the fittings in place then you will need to order the "Inline UF Fittings Bundle" as well.
If you already have this membrane, and you are just buying a replacement, then the fittings are not needed.
The "Inline UF Fittings Bundle" includes the following fittings:
- 1 x 1/4" Quick Fit Elbow
- 1 x 1/4" Inline Elbow
- 1 x Saddle Drain Clamp
- 5 metres of 1/4" piping
