The SED5MMFAP390E 5 micron filter uses Conventional Core, Micro-Fiber Technology encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to remove Dirt, Rocks, Sand, Sticks, Bugs and other larger debris from untreated water. This 5 micron filter is manufactured by thermally fusing thousands of small polypropylene micro fibers together. Smaller particles, Bacteria, and super fine debris such as Silt and Clay pass through this filter because of the inefficient design and larger micron rating. This filter is better suited for Bath, Kitchen, Bar, or Island Sink Faucets and Shower Heads where larger debris plugs the faucet screen, as Pre-Filter for a multistage Reverse Osmosis system, or as a Pre-filter for Spas, Tubs, Tanks, Drums, etc. The Proprietary design restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted filters, which typically imposes a higher retail price and compromise in quality and performance.

MEM24TFCAP5500 - Membrane Filter for Aqua-Pure Part # AP5500RM, RM-TFC-HF, 55571-03, 56084-01, 66-43037, > 18-150 gpd Membranes available.

The MEM18CTARO3 .005 micron Membrane filter uses a Cellulose Tri-Acetate Cellular Skin encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to separate and remove Dissolved Solids, Salts, Minerals, Heavy Metals, Organic Matter, Sub-micron Colloidal matter, Cysts, Bacteria, and other contaminants from untreated water. Water containing Dissolved Minerals and other Contaminants is forced under high pressure through a Semi-Permeable, Spiral Wound, Cellulose Tri-Acetate Cellular Skin layered in several wrappings, to separate and rinse away many of the dissolved solids to a sewage drain. The CTA Membrane can only operate on Chlorinated water supplies, excluding it from use on Private, Shared, or Municipal Well Water which could possibly contain Bacteria that would contaminate and foul the CTA skin. The CTA Membrane is not capable of removing the maximum level of dissolved solids as the TFC Membrane, does not have the broad PH range flexibility as the TFC Membrane, and does not remove the percentage of dissolved solids that the TFC Membrane is capable of removing. Typical Rejection of minerals and impurities for the CTA Membrane is 70%-80% removal, compared to 95%-99% of the TFC Membrane. The Proprietary design restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted membranes, which typically imposes a higher retail price by forcing the consumer to purchase a Membrane Vessel with Check Valve and Flow Restrictor, in addition to the Membrane Filter with every Membrane replacement.

The CF100MGACAP397E 100 micron filter uses Granular Carbon Technology encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to remove Chlorine and other Hydro-Carbon Gases from untreated water. Small Granules of Bituminous Carbon are encapsulated in a Plastic container along with a very small micro-fiber pre-filter element. The inefficient design and larger micron rating lets all Sediments, Sand, Bacteria, and Debris pass through the cartridge, while only removing Chlorine and other Hydro-Carbon Gases in limited amounts. This filter is better suited for Bath, Shower, or Utility Sink type Faucets, or as a Pre-filter for Spas, Tubs, Tanks, Drums, Feeders, etc. where higher flow rates of water are required. The Proprietary design restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted filters, which typically imposes a higher retail price and compromise in quality and performance.
