    The Benefits of Ultrafiltration

    There are plenty of practical benefits that come with using ultrafiltration to get your water clean. Below, you can see some of the most notable benefits that this water filtration system offers.

    Energy Efficiency

    Ultrafiltration is one of the most energy-efficient ways to purify water. This purification system doesn’t have any requirement for power to be operated as it utilizes the pressure of the water to push it through the membrane. Therefore, without wasting any energy, you can get healthy, sanitized water without running up your electric bill.

    Removes Bacteria & Viruses

    Many other filtration systems, such as UV, kill bacteria and germs in your water itself. However, ultrafiltration is the only system that pulls out the eggs from the water as the system is focused around particle size. This ensures pure, drinkable, and safe water.

    Removes Solid Particles

    The primary function of ultrafiltration systems is to remove solid particles from your water. Though this system isn’t designed to remove dissolved substances, it removes more solids than most other systems. UF systems can remove all those particles that alter your water’s color, taste, and odor, taking the dirtiest water and making it suitable for drinking.

    Chemical-free Purification

    A lot of water purification systems utilize chemicals to treat the water for purification. This simply replaces one substance that doesn’t belong in your water with another. Our ultrafiltration systems do not use any chemicals to make your water clean and safe to drink.

    Environmentally Friendly

    As these ultrafiltration systems do not rely on electricity or chemicals to filter the water, they are sustainable, environmentally-friendly systems. You can take comfort knowing that your water is being cleaned without having a negative impact on our environment.

    What is Ultrafiltration?

    Whole House Water Filtration

    After learning of all the benefits that ultrafiltration provides, you may be left wondering what it is and how it works. Ultrafiltration is a water purification process that utilizes a hollow fiber or a sheet membrane to mechanically filter water that contains small particles. An ultrafiltration system uses this fine membrane to filter particles as small as .025 microns. To help you understand just how fine the particles it filters out are, a human hair is, on average, around 75 to 80 microns in diameter. This means that our ultrafiltration systems will remove any and all suspended solids from your water. The way these systems work is quite similar to other filtration systems. The water is pushed through the sheet or hollow fiber membrane by your water pressure. As the water passes through, any substances larger .025 microns are captured by the filter membrane. It’s also common to see ultrafiltration systems paired with carbon filters so that, while the ultrafiltration system removes the solids, the carbon filter removes the dissolved substances from your water.

    The Two Types of Ultrafiltration

    There are two main types of ultrafiltration systems that we install. These are point-of-use and point-of-entry systems. Point-of-use systems are typically installed for under-the-counter drinking water systems. Point-of-entry systems are usually established where the water enters your home or business for applications that don’t require water filtered as finely. The membranes in these different systems will be configured differently but will perform the same. Both methods are designed to mechanically filter particles as small as .025 microns. Point-of-use systems will filter this water through to a tap explicitly meant for drinking water or water to cook with. The point-of-entry system filters all the water that enters your home or business and is excellent at reducing tannin in your water supply, which is generally caused by organics that create these tannins and removing colloidal suspension. Colloidal suspension refers to a solution of suspended particles that will not settle and remain dispersed throughout the water. We can work with you to determine which system will better suit your specified needs!

    Ultrafiltration Maintenance & Repairs

    Ultrafiltration systems contain exceptionally fine membrane filters that need to be cleaned properly from time to time. The cleaning process is dependant on whether your system is being used to remove inorganic or organic particles or both. To remove organic contaminants, the membranes’ typical cleaning process is to use a low foam, medium-alkaline detergent with a concentration of .6% to 1% for between 40 and 60 minutes and no more. When cleaning inorganic contaminants, it’s best to use a citric acid at no more than a concentration of 3%. The acid should be left to circulate for 1 to 3 hours to get the membrane totally clean. If you’re uncomfortable with your UF system’s maintenance, or just don’t have the time, we also offer cleaning services to take the load off of you! If your system has not been appropriately maintained or is beginning to show it’s age, you may need repairs. Parts can break from wear and tear, and when this happens, your water isn’t being appropriately filtered any longer. Our company offers full repair services to keep your ultrafiltration system working at maximum capacity.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the typical applications for ultrafiltration systems?

    Ultrafiltration systems can be used anywhere that you want filtered water. They can provide water filtration for a point-of-use faucet, such as under-the-counter-systems, or even with some types of ice machines. These systems can also be used as point-of-entry water filtration to keep the water in your entire home or business clean!

    How do you know when it’s time to change the water filter?

    Ultrafiltration systems commonly come with carbon filters as well. It’s recommended that you change your filter at least once a year. There is usually a gallon capacity rating on most filters that you should try not to exceed. Most hollow fiber membranes can last longer than that, depending on the water quality at your home or business. However, you should keep a lookout for signs that it’s time to replace the membrane, such as if your water flow begins to slow down.
