Description
The Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane is a sophisticated, pressure-driven barrier that provides a high level of protection against waterborne pathogens. Utilizing a semi-permeable membrane with incredibly fine pores (typically 0.01 to 0.1 microns), it uses "size exclusion" to physically block 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and cysts.
Features
What Does Ultrafiltration Remove?
-
Superior Pathogen Protection: Removes 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, as well as protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
-
0.01 Micron Precision: Effectively filters out pollen, algae, colloids, and high molecular weight organic compounds.
-
Mineral Retention: Unlike RO membranes, UF does not remove dissolved salts or minerals, keeping your water naturally balanced.
-
Hollow Fiber Technology: Constructed with high-surface-area hollow fibers for excellent flow rates and durability.
-
Low Pressure Operation: Operates effectively at standard household water pressures, often not requiring a booster pump.
| Contaminant | Removal Rate / Effectiveness |
| Bacteria (Pathogenic) | 99.99% Removal |
| Viruses | Highly Effective |
| Protozoa & Cysts | 99.99% (Giardia/Cryptosporidium) |
| Suspended Solids | Sand, Silt, Rust, and Dirt |
| Organic Matter | High Molecular Weight Compounds |
Important Limitations
-
TDS: UF does not remove dissolved salts/ions (TDS) or water hardness.
-
Chemicals: It does not remove dissolved heavy metals or low-molecular-weight pesticides unless they are bound to larger particles.

Maintenance & Lifespan
-
Pre-Filtration: A 5-micron sediment filter must be installed upstream to protect the UF membrane from abrasive particles.
-
Replacement Schedule: UF membranes typically last between 2 to 5 years, depending on feed water quality.
-
Signs of Failure: A severe, permanent drop in water flow rate that cannot be restored by flushing indicates that the membrane pores have become irreversibly fouled.
-
Back-Washing: Periodic flushing is recommended to clear the "filter cake" from the membrane surface and maintain high flow.
