HelixPRO 100 GPD osmotic membrane

Precise filtration in a reverse osmosis system

The HelixPRO 100 GPD membrane has been designed to operate in reverse osmosis filters, where it plays a key role in the water treatment process. It is the osmotic membrane that is responsible for the most precise stage of purification, retaining from 96% to 99.99% of contaminants dissolved in water.

In practice, this means effective reduction of a broad spectrum of undesirable substances, including organic and inorganic contaminants, bacteria, viruses, chemical compounds, and heavy metals. Filtration precision reaches 0.001 µm, making the membrane the central element of every effective reverse osmosis system.

Benefits for water quality

The membrane removes dissolved salt compounds from water, which results in a reduction in hardness by more than 90%. This is especially important wherever stable water quality and limiting sediment buildup matter.

The result of the membrane's operation is highly purified water that works well both as drinking water and in aquarium applications. That is why this type of cartridge is willingly chosen wherever a water filter is expected to provide high purification efficiency and consistent results.

• highly precise water purification in an RO system,
• reduction of organic and inorganic contaminants,
• limiting the presence of bacteria and viruses,
• reduction of chemical compounds and heavy metals,
• reduction of salt content,
• lowering water hardness by more than 90%,
• use for preparing drinking water and for aquarium applications.

Construction and operating principle

The membrane consists of many layers wound around a perforated core located inside the cartridge. This design makes it possible to carry out the filtration process under pressure and effectively separate clean water from contaminants.

Contaminated water is forced onto the membrane surface, where water molecules pass through microscopic pores. Contaminants are separated and discharged to the drain. The purified water then passes through openings into the central core and flows out of the membrane under pressure.

It is precisely this mechanism that makes the osmotic membrane the most important working element in solutions based on an osmotic filter and advanced water treatment.

How the filtration process works

1. Contaminated water is forced under pressure onto the membrane surface.
2. Water molecules pass through the membrane's microscopic pores.
3. Contaminants are separated from the water and directed to the drain.
4. Purified water passes through openings into the central, perforated core.
5. Under pressure, clean water flows out of the membrane and enters the next part of the system.

Operation and usage recommendations

Proper membrane operation has a direct impact on filtration efficiency and cartridge lifespan. It is very important to protect the membrane appropriately by using pre-filters, which limit the inflow of larger contaminants and help maintain its performance for a long time.

Under standard operating conditions, the membrane lifespan can be as long as several years. In practice, however, it depends on the quality of the incoming water and on situations that may worsen the operating conditions of the filtration system.

Application

The HelixPRO 100 GPD reverse osmosis membrane is used wherever high filtration quality and effective reduction of dissolved contaminants are needed. It is a good choice for household systems preparing water for drinking, as well as for installations used in aquarium applications.

Thanks to its function in an RO system, the membrane supports everyday water treatment, improves its usable parameters, and helps reduce hardness. It is therefore an important element of any installation in which a reverse osmosis filter is intended to provide stable quality of purified water.
