DOW FILMTEC TW30-1812-24 Membrane

DOW FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for home drinking water treatment units are some of the most reliable and consistent elements in the industry. Advanced membrane technology and automated fabrication allow Dow to precisely produce each and every element to tight, pre-defined specifications. Dow’s advanced and consistent RO element quality helps customers develop, and maintain brand recognition along with a reputation for building systems that reliably provide low impurity drinking water. DOW FILMTEC™ elements are shipped dry for convenient handling and long shelf-life. Dow’s next generation elements are a fully compatible replacement for existing DOW FILMTEC™ residential RO elements.

Advantages

• High flux results in greater yield (more water)
• Shipped dry for long shelf life
• FilmTec performance and quality

Important Information

It is recommended that systems using these elements rinse the elements for 24 hours, prior to first use, to meet NSF/ANSI 58 Standard.

• The first full tank of permeate must be discarded. Do not use this initial permeate for drinking water or food preparation.
• To ease installation, it is recommended to use a lubricant safe for indirect water contact on all seals.Potential options include water, glycerin based lubricants, and Dow Corning™ 111.
• Rotate the element about a quarter turn to ease installation and removal of the element. Ensure goodinterface between the o-rings and brine seal with their connection surfaces.
• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• To prevent biological growth during prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended that membrane elements be immersed in a preservative solution. Rinse out the preservative before use.
• The membrane shows some resistance to short-term attack by chlorine (hypochlorite). Continuous exposure, however, may damage the membrane and should be avoided.
