Ultrafiltration water system

Updated: Jul 26, 2021

The Water Technologies 5-stage UF System offers the perfect filtration option for users looking for a basic system that also offers excellent water filtration and has no water waste. The system consists of a sediment, granular carbon, and carbon block filter as pre-treatment and then an Ultra-Filtration membrane which filters down to 0.2 microns to remove bacteria and parasites. The water then flows through an inline carbon polishing filter before flowing to your tap. What does the Ultrafiltration System remove? Stage 1 – Melt Blown Sediment Filter Removes suspended (floating) particles including Dust Rust Sand or small stones Stage 2 – GAC Filter Removes chemicals or bad tastes or odors in the water including Chlorine Volatile Organic Compounds and other chemicals Stage 3 – Carbon Block Filter Removes any residual suspended particles, chemicals, or bad tastes or odors that the first 2 filters have missed Stage 4 – Ultra Filter Membrane Removes very small suspended particles in the water including: Microplastics Silt or clay Bacteria Parasites Stage 5 – Activated Carbon Polishing Filter An extra “backup” carbon filter cartridge that removes any residual tastes and odors in the water that may have somehow not been removed by the previous 4 stages What does this filter not remove? Dissolved minerals (so if you have brackish water, this will not improve the taste as the unpleasant taste is caused by dissolved salts) Dissolved minerals can only be removed through a more expensive and complicated reverse-osmosis process. Hardness (so if you have hard water, this filter will not reduce the hardness) Hardness can only be removed by reverse osmosis (although vastly reduces the lifespan of the reverse osmosis membrane) or by using a softening resin cartridge Features: No Waste Water Operates with low pressure (1 bar and up) Best Value vs Performance Filter- No Power Required- Low maintenance Costs The system consists of sediment, granular carbon, and a carbon block filter as pre-treatment and then an Ultra – Filtration membrane which filters down to 0.2 microns to remove bacteria and parasites. The water then flows through an inline carbon polishing filter before flowing to your tap. More Compact: The Puritech 5 – stage UF offers excellent filtration and higher flow than a similar-sized Reverse – Osmosis unit, this means that it does not need an additional storage tank and is more compact. The filter also uses industry-standard 10 inches slimline 10 x 2.5 replacement filters that most filter and hardware store stock. What’s in the box 1 x 5 – stage filtration unit with filters 1 x Sealed UF membrane 1 x Water Supply Connection Kit 2 x Housing Wrench 1 x 1 / 4 Tap 1 x 1 / 4 Pipe
