UltraFiltration (UF)
Ultrafiltration (UF) uses standard home water pressure to push water through a semipermeable membrane and remove any contaminants. Unlike reverse osmosis, Ultrafiltration retains the minerals in the water, while filtering out bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
The UF filter is a pre-assembled unit with 3 stages of filtration, a UF filter and a final clean carbon filter. A water alkalizing unit may be added if required. A UF system is capable of 2 litres per minute of water flow, more than enough to fill aqua bottles and wash veggies. This system requires no electricity as it runs on the natural water pressure in your pipes. A monthly backwash is required.
Advantages To Using UltraFiltration
The process of UltraFiltration is extremely environmentally friendly, with little resources needed to function, this is what makes it an ideal solution where materials and energy are scarce.
It can also be used as a pre-treatment to other water treatment solutions or as a final filtration stage for deionized water. Advantages of UltraFiltration:
