The Ultra-Filtration (UF) system is a type of membrane filtration similar to Reverse Osmosis, using hydrostatic pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. Ultra-Filtration is a pressure-driven membrane process not fundamentally different from reverse osmosis (RO), microfiltration (MF) or nanofiltration (NF), except in terms of the size of the molecules it retains. Size of the membrane is 0.01 microns.
Ultra-Filtration is a barrier to suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, endotoxins and other pathogens to produce water with very high purity and low salt density. Ultra-Filtration is used to remove essentially all colloidal particles (0.01 to 1.0 microns) from water and some of the largest dissolved contaminants. The pore size in a UF membrane is mainly responsible for determining the type and size of contaminants removed.
The Ultra Filtration water system Membrane does not remove any minerals from the source water meaning the Ultra filtration System won’t affect the taste of the water. This system is not recommended if the water has high levels of salt. This system has no waste water and is easily installed under counter.
