TLCHF-2T Aquafilter capillary membrane

Capillary membrane for effective purification of cold drinking water

The TLCHF-2T model has been designed for the treatment of cold drinking water. It is a solution for users looking for an efficient filter cartridge for an under-sink installation and who want to preserve the natural mineral composition of the water.

Unlike solutions associated with technologies such as reverse osmosis, an osmotic filter, or an osmotic membrane, the TLCHF-2T capillary membrane filters 100% of the incoming water. This means filtration without reject water, resulting in more efficient water use in everyday operation.

How does the TLCHF-2T capillary membrane work?

The TLCHF-2T capillary membrane is made of polypropylene fibers, i.e. capillaries. Their construction is what enables the effective water purification process.

Channels are hollowed out in the capillary walls, and their diameter decreases from the outside toward the center of the fiber. This design enables two-stage contaminant retention:

• larger contaminant particles are retained on the outer surface of the capillary – this is surface filtration,
• smaller particles flow deeper into the channels until they encounter smaller pores – this is depth filtration.

The combination of surface and depth filtration allows the water to be effectively polished and its quality improved in drinking water applications.

Alternative to osmotic filtration

Capillary filtration is an alternative to osmotic filtration. The purification process makes it possible to eliminate up to 99.8% of harmful substances and microorganisms from water without removing minerals essential to the human body.

For many users, this is an important practical advantage: instead of choosing a classic water filter based on a reverse osmosis system, they can use a capillary membrane that combines precise filtration with full utilization of the feed water.

Key membrane advantages

• Does not remove minerals from water
• Filtration without reject water
• Removes mechanical contaminants (including bacteria and viruses)
• Fits most under-sink systems available on the market

Application

The TLCHF-2T membrane is intended for the treatment of cold drinking water. It works well as part of a household water filtration system, especially in under-sink installations where a compact solution, effective filtration, and no water reject are important.

Why choose the Aquafilter TLCHF-2T capillary membrane?

It is a good choice for people who expect effective drinking water purification without water loss and without stripping it of its natural minerals. The membrane operates based on a well-designed capillary structure, supports the removal of mechanical contaminants and microorganisms, and can be used in many popular under-sink systems.

If you are looking for a solution that is an alternative to classic systems such as a reverse osmosis filter, the TLCHF-2T combines ease of use with efficient utilization of all the water supplied to the filter.
