This Pentair TFM (thin film membrane) Encapsulated Membrane is a complete unit that comes with its filter housing and flows control valve, as well as a built-in permeate check valve which is used to identify potential leaks. These features reduce the need for any additional attachments which would otherwise be required to ensure the structural integrity of the TFM element. The encapsulated membrane comes with color-coded ports and Quick Connect fittings to allow for easy installation into most existing reverse osmosis (RO) systems.
The Pentair TFM uses a unique crossflow filtration technology to separate and remove impurities from the water stream. In cross-flow filtration, one or more membrane envelopes are wound around a porous central tube, as water passes through the filters it is carried into the shells and flows down towards the core. In this way, impurities can be captured on the surface and moved away instantly. This automatic process helps to prolong the useful life of the filter and ensure more consistent performance, especially when compared to more conventional filters. The filter can produce 75 gallons of filtered water every day making it ideal for residential and light commercial applications. It should be noted that this membrane is not chlorine resistant so an additional carbon pre-filter will be needed to protect the TFM.
The Pentair TFM Encapsulated Membrane is certified for NSF Standard 58, confirming that all materials components are of appropriate quality, and that the effective performance is adequate for use in RO water systems.
