Vontron 50 GPD osmotic membrane

Membrane for precise filtration in reverse osmosis systems

The Vontron 50 GPD osmotic membrane is designed for use in reverse osmosis filters. This component is responsible for the most precise water purification in the entire system. Thanks to its very high filtration accuracy, the membrane retains from 96% to 99.99% of dissolved organic and inorganic contaminants in water.

In practice, this means effective reduction of bacteria, viruses, chemical compounds, and heavy metals with accuracy down to 0.001 µm. This level of separation makes the water after passing through the membrane suitable for drinking, as well as for aquarium applications, where water purity and stable parameters are particularly important.

What contaminants does the Vontron 50 GPD membrane reduce?

In a reverse osmosis system, the membrane acts as a barrier to a very broad spectrum of contaminants. Its task is to separate water molecules from undesirable substances present in raw water.

• dissolved organic contaminants,
• dissolved inorganic contaminants,
• bacteria,
• viruses,
• chemical compounds,
• heavy metals,
• dissolved salt compounds.

Removal of dissolved salts also translates into a reduction in water hardness by more than 90%. This is an important benefit both for everyday water consumption and wherever water with the lowest possible mineral content is expected.

Design and operating principle

The membrane consists of many layers wound around a perforated core located inside the cartridge. This design provides a large filtration surface in a compact form of the component used in a reverse osmosis-based water filter.

Contaminated water is forced under pressure onto the membrane surface. In this process, water molecules pass through microscopic pores, while contaminants are separated and rejected to the drain. The purified water then passes through openings into the central core and, under pressure, flows out of the membrane as treated water.

That is why the osmotic membrane is considered a key component of a reverse osmosis system and one of the most effective methods for home water treatment.

Key benefits in everyday use

• very precise water filtration in a reverse osmosis system,
• reduction of 96% to 99.99% of dissolved contaminants,
• filtration accuracy down to 0.001 µm,
• reduction of the presence of bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemical compounds,
• removal of dissolved salt compounds,
• reduction of water hardness by more than 90%,
• ability to obtain water suitable for drinking,
• suitability for aquarium applications,
• possibility of extending service life when using pre-filters.

Operation and important recommendations

The proper operation of the membrane largely depends on the quality of the inlet water and the condition of the remaining elements of the filtration system. Proper membrane protection through the use of pre-filters can extend its service life even up to several years.

Application

The Vontron 50 GPD membrane works well in osmotic filters used in households wherever the goal is to improve water quality. It is a suitable solution for users who want to use purified water for drinking, preparing beverages and meals, as well as for selected special applications such as aquariums.
