Aquaporin-Inside Clear Ultra 8040

Summary

Product identification

The Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 8040 element is a high capacity, low energy advanced reverse osmosis membrane. These are biomimetic products incorporating nature's water channels (aquaporin proteins) to deliver high water flow and high rejection for efficient water treatment.

Mechanical / hydraulic

The CLEAR Ultra 8040 element fits standard 8 inch inner diameter pressure vessels.

• Dimensions (inches / millimeters):
  • A: 40.0 / 1016.0
  • B: 7.9 / 200
  • C: 1.125 / 28.6

Additional information

• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded and not used for consumption.
• To prevent biological growth during prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended that membrane elements be immersed in a preservative solution. The preservative solution should be rinsed out before use.
• Elements must be kept dry at room temperature (7-32°C / 40-95°F) and should not be stored in direct sunlight.
• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• The presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents can cause premature membrane failure. Oxidation damage is not covered under warranty; removal of residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure is recommended.
• For element loading, use only glycerine to lubricate o-rings and brine seal.
