Important Information

  • Start-up: Flush elements for 30 minutes at low pressure and discard permeate prior to operation.
  • Cleaning: Periodic cleaning is required to ensure proper operation and prevent membrane damage. Refer to the Membrane Cleaning Guide.
  • Storage: Elements must be stored appropriately. Refer to the Element Storage Guides.
  • Regulatory: All models are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for use in drinking water systems.
  • Customization: MANN+HUMMEL Water & Fluid Solutions offers custom membrane and element designs for challenging applications, including low-fouling RO, submerged UF, continuous high temperature, ultra-high pressure, and unique sanitary designs.
