TFC-50F Aquafilter 50 GPD reverse osmosis membrane

Membrane for precise water purification

The TFC-50F Aquafilter membrane has been designed to operate in reverse osmosis filters, where it performs the most important function in the entire contaminant separation process. It is at this stage that the water filtration system achieves the highest purification efficiency, because the membrane retains from 96% to 99.99% of dissolved organic and inorganic contaminants present in water.

In practice, this means effective reduction of contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, chemical compounds, heavy metals, and other undesirable substances present in water. Filtration precision reaches 0.001 µm, making the osmosis membrane responsible for one of the most accurate purification processes used in household water treatment systems.

What benefits does the TFC-50F osmosis membrane provide?

Using the Aquafilter TFC-50F membrane brings a real improvement in the quality of utility and drinking water. The membrane removes dissolved salt compounds, which results in a hardness reduction of over 90%. As a result, the water obtained is very well purified and performs well wherever high purity matters.

• retains from 96% to 99.99% of dissolved organic and inorganic contaminants,
• limits the presence of bacteria and viruses,
• reduces chemical compounds and heavy metals,
• removes dissolved salts,
• lowers water hardness by over 90%,
• makes it possible to obtain water suitable for drinking,
• is also suitable for aquarium applications.

Construction and operating principle

The membrane consists of many layers wound around a perforated core placed inside the cartridge. This design provides a large filtration surface area and enables effective operation in a reverse osmosis system.

Contaminated water is forced under pressure onto the membrane surface. The water molecules then pass through microscopic pores, while contaminants are separated and directed to the drain. Purified water passes through openings into the central core and, under pressure, flows out of the membrane as filtered water.

Filtration process in the membrane

• feed water reaches the membrane surface under pressure,
• water molecules pass through microscopic pores,
• organic and inorganic contaminants are separated,
• the separated contaminants are rejected to the drain,
• purified water passes into the central core,
• treated water flows out of the membrane under pressure.

Application

The TFC-50F model is used in reverse osmosis systems intended for preparing clean water for everyday consumption. It is also a good choice wherever water with reduced salt content and lower hardness is required, including in aquariums.

Operation and proper replacement

For the membrane to operate effectively and maintain high durability, it is important to protect it properly by using pre-filters. It is this pre-filtration that protects the membrane from excessive load and can extend its service life up to several years.

Why is the condition of the membrane so important?

In a reverse osmosis system, the membrane is responsible for the most precise purification stage. Its proper operation directly affects the quality of the final water, the effectiveness of dissolved contaminant removal, and the degree of hardness reduction. Regular inspection of the cartridge condition and replacement of worn consumable elements helps maintain high performance of the entire system.
