Ultrafiltration System 1,000 to 10,000 l/h

Introduction to Ultrafiltration

What is ultrafiltration?

This filtration technique was developed in the 1970s by the dairy industry to remove bacteria and viruses using a membrane with a maximum pore diameter of 0.01 micron, which is 10,000 times finer than a human hair.

Ultrafiltration also removes phagocytes, colloids, and macromolecules to a certain extent.

Caution: the filter's theoretical flow rate is based on an inlet pressure of 3 bars. If your pressure is lower, the flow rate will be lower.

High-flow filtration with no wastewater

The solution we offer here consists of a single filter housed in a stainless steel tube.

Higher pressure can have 2 consequences:

- premature deterioration of the ultrafiltration membrane, leading to a reduced flow rate over time

- rupture of the plastic caps. If there is a risk of water hammer, replace these caps with a standard metal model.

Maintaining your ultrafiltration system

Every 12 to 24 months, replace the filter, which you can find here.

The replacement interval varies considerably because it depends directly on several factors:

- purity of the incoming water
- volume used over a year
- membrane cleaning, meaning whether you also use your system's second outlet for less filtered water, which flushes the ultrafiltration membrane.

Available options

Additional replacement filter: 50% off when ordered with the system.

Warranty

The warranty lasts 2 years and covers your entire system under normal use.

The water inlet pressure must not exceed 4 bars.

First, you can treat all your water by blocking the outlet opposite the inlet.   This way, you will have no water loss or drain water, but the filters will clog relatively quickly. The most economical approach in our view is to connect your toilets to the opposite outlet. This way, every time you flush the toilet, you flush your system, significantly extending the life of the filters

Assembly note:

The inlet and outlets have female threads, so you will need a nipple fitting or a hose with a male fitting. If you do not connect the drain outlet, simply leave the cap in place

Why install an ultrafiltration system in your home?

Ultrafiltration makes water that is already clear, but may  contain unwanted particles (such as well water or even your rainwater), suitable for drinking without producing wastewater. This technology is not suitable for seawater or heavily polluted water.

For better-quality drinking water, we strongly recommend adding a home RO system  downstream of this system.
