APPLICATIONS & SPECIFICATIONS
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
Surface and ground water treatment to remove sediment, turbidity, colloids, and other
particulate.
Organics and tannin removal (since the molecular weights of tannin molecules vary widely,
pilot testing prior to purchase/installation is strongly recommended).
Rainwater catchment treatment and gray water recycling.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) pre-filter.
Part of a multi-barrier approach for the treatment of bacteria, viruses, and cysts including
cryptosporidium and giardia.
This product is not certified or recommended as a stand-alone microbiological purifier and
should not be applied as a disinfection solution for microbiologically unsafe water without
additional treatment. If microbiological protection is a treatment objective, we recommend
that a dual barrier disinfection approach involving the Ul UF System and ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection and/or chlorination be applied for enhanced protection. A Pressure Decay Test
(PDT) after installation is strongly recommended if microbiological reduction performance is
desired.
SPECIFICATIONS:
For optimal filtration, the continuous service flow rate range should not be exceeded. Satisfactory
filtration can generally be achieved up to the maximum peak flow rate as long as this level of flow
rate is not sustained continuously.
