Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane filtration process similar to Reverse Osmosis, using hydrostatic pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane.
∙ Effective at treating submicron particulates and tannins
∙ Effective at treating endotoxins, mIcroplastics, proteins, silt, viruses, etc.
∙ No need for chemicals (coagulants, flocculates, disinfectants, pH adjustment)
∙ Size-exclusion filtration as opposed to media depth filtration
Ultrafilters are effective at removing extremely small particulates. They are capable of removing particles roughly 100 times smaller than typical canister filters. This allows them to remove colloidal solids, as well as larger organic molecules like tannic acid, which can cause water to appear tea colored.
Ultrafilters are frequently used in municipal water treatment as cost effective means to mechanically filter small particulates and turbidity that was able to get past the flocculation/sedimentation treatment stage.
Comprehensive water testing is key to determining effective treatment for your water.
