Life of RO Membrane and how to enhance the performance of RO?

There are certain electronic devices in your home that require regular servicing and replacement as they remain connected to the health of your family members. It is of prime importance among many water purifiers. Every living thing on this planet wants access to safe and clean drinking water. The best option is to use an RO Plant. However, in all devices installed in RO, the membrane is the most important part of the water purifier.

The RO membrane is the filter that does all the work. It is the primary system that works to clean the system. Sediment and carbon filters only work to prepare the water for damage to the reverse osmosis membrane. With sufficient maintenance of the sediments and carbon filters, only the membrane is replaced after approx. 4,000 to 6,000 liter's of water have been cleaned.

But if we want to know how long the life of the Membrane for RO will last, then we need to know that the life depends on various factors.

 

The lifetime of the RO membrane filter depends mainly on these influences.

1. Absence of oxidants in the feed water (chlorine is the largest at the tap)

2. Hardness of the supply water (hard water settles the membrane)

3. Organic content of tap water (algae, fungi, bacteria, fungi, etc.)

4. Mud Density Index (Sediment pollution - 5 is the maximum, most surface waters are 5 or more and need to be pre-treated to lower the value. Well water is usually 1 or less and is much better for RO membranes.

5. Iron in feed water – Iron will foul the membrane

6. System Recovery - Long explanation, but RO systems can be operated off-spec, allowing higher performance than designed. This operation causes premature contamination and scale formation.

7. Proper cleaning

8. Frequency of operation. It is obvious that a system operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week will not offer the life of a membrane operating for 2 hours a day.

 

When to change RO Membrane

 

Now, if you are interested in checking whether to replace the RO membrane or not, you should check the TDS of the purified water. The best method is to use a TDS meter to test the hardness of the water flowing through your RO system. If the TDS of your water is higher than 500, then it is best to replace the membrane. If the TDS is rising, then there is a high probability that the membrane will need to be replaced.

Remember that high TDS and hard water may force you to change the membrane more often than the standard 2–3-year time limit.

On the other hand, if the system is used more often, it will also affect the lifespan. Proper maintenance of the pre-filtration and filters is essential to ensure the best possible service life of the membranes.

 

How to choose the right RO membrane for your RO?

 

The best way to choose the right type of best RO membrane is to look at the construction of the membrane. If you're looking for a durable membrane, consider a thicker or heavier one. If you are looking for a more energy efficient membrane, consider a thinner membrane. The RO Membrane Price is also affordable.

Also note the operating temperature of the diaphragm. Membranes with high operating temperatures last longer but require more energy and water.

 

What to see before buying RO Membrane?

 

1. Pressure maintenance of the RO membrane.

To ensure that water flows from a concentration of impure water to a low concentration of solute (pure water), external pressure must be applied. The electrical system maintains this pressure and the required value is between 150 psi and 800 psi. Therefore, when choosing a membrane, you need to make sure that the product will be able to handle such a high pressure.

 

2. PH handling capacity of the membrane

You need to check whether the chosen RO membrane can tolerate the pH level of your water supply or not. Typically, aromatic polyamide membranes can withstand a pH of 2 to 11, while cellulose acetate membranes can only withstand a pH of 2.5 to 7.

 

3. Inlet water temperature tolerance level

 

Some membranes can withstand a maximum temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit, while some can withstand a maximum of 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, let's assume that the water supply in your home has a higher temperature than the recommended amount. In this case, the heat will damage the membrane and render it unusable. Therefore, you need to be sure that the product you choose can withstand the temperature of the water without sacrificing its performance and efficiency.

Domestic RO membrane offered by Pearl Water

Pearl Water has been providing the best water and waste treatment facilities in India for about 15 years. We also provide very high-quality home RO system filters and spare parts. Our filters and replacement parts are compatible with any RO system. These RO membrane filter elements are tested against all critical parameters to ensure the highest consistent performance over a guaranteed lifetime. Our RO membranes are reasonably priced yet available in premium quality. Pearl Water offers two types of high-quality membranes.

1. RO Membrane 15 LPH Classic- This RO membrane can effectively remove heavy metals, minerals and other soluble salts from water. The total lifetime of classic RO membranes is approx. 7500 litters. The operational TDS of a classic RO membrane is 1000PPM.

2. RO Membrane 20LPHUltra – To perform reverse osmosis, water must be forced into the RO membrane by an external pressure greater than the natural osmotic pressure and the water must remain closed during the desalination process. This process causes clean water to flow out of the outlet. This Ultra Ro membrane is ideal for producing better and cleaner water for your home.

Our RO membranes are suitable for all RO systems. Another advantage of choosing Pearl Water Technologies to purchase RO membranes or other products is:

1. All products are ISO certified.

2. High quality but low price.

3. Made of ABS plastic, which makes the product durable.

4. Exchange possible during the warranty period.
