Ultrafiltration
Freshwater Systems domestic ultrafiltration systems utilise the same technology that is trusted in commercial and medical applications. Suitable for home, office, small business and community applications, ultrafiltration enhances water utilisation to supplement water supply.
Ultrafiltration (UF) water treatment is a great option for whole house supply, to filter water from alternative water sources such as river water and rainwater. It is efficient in removal of contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, suspended solids, colloidal matter and other impurities from water sources.
UF systems provide a higher level of filtration compared to traditional filtration methods and does not require the use of chemicals for disinfection or coagulation.
Our FreshGuardUF Compact Ultrafiltration System is lightweight, portable and easy to install, plugging into a standard power point. Ideal for whole house supply.
Although initial installation costs for UF systems may be higher than conventional filtration methods, their long-term operational costs are lower due to reduced energy consumption and minimal maintenance.
Ultrafiltration membranes can treat extremely challenging water sources such as:
- River water
- Creek water
- Dam water
- Sea water
- Bore water
What is ultrafiltration?
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a filtration process that utilises a semi-permeable membrane to separate suspended solids, bacteria, colloids, viruses and organic matter from water. It operates on the principle of size exclusion, where particles larger than the membrane’s pores are filtered out, while smaller molecules, such as water and dissolved salts/minerals, pass through.
Ultrafiltration is one of the most effective filtration methods available, creating clean water that is free from most contaminants, without removing minerals and salts.
The Freshwater Systems FreshGuardUF System delivers an efficient, cost-effective technology trusted for use in medical applications, scaled to home use. It can be used for:
- River water treatment (screened)
- Stored rainwater filtration
- Irrigation Trust water supply treatment
