Large Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter

Update: I've just bought a second one to replace the first one and I'm getting the same output results. Mila. The filter works great. We have very hard water in Arizona. Inlet water is 284 ppm and outlet water is 16 ppm. 94% removal. nice๐Ÿ˜

Pros
  • Model number: FILMTEC-TW30-1812-36
Cons
  • Available in white only

It was the same for a better price online

It's much cheaper to buy online than to order from our reverse osmosis shop. It was the same at the best price on the web. I intend to buy this again when the time comes to change it. We are very happy with it.

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Not satisfied with replacement water filters

If you've ever used a genuine DOW Filmtec cone, you'll definitely notice the difference. How it looks, how it is packaged, ID card and stickers. I had to go back. The packaging was opened, came in a box with many traces of handling. The membrane itself had no identification, link, container, branding, etc. It might have worked, but we would have felt uncomfortable using it at home.

Pros
  • Rated at 50psi. inches and purifies approximately 20% more water than 60psi filters. Inches
Cons
  • Not bad

Just what we needed

Our reverse osmosis system was serviced by the company that installed it, obviously at a much higher cost than we could have done it ourselves. This was our first membrane replacement but with a little help from a YouTube video it was easy to do. We adjusted the size (if you change the size of the membrane you get a flow restrictor of the right size, easy to change also using the video) and are very happy with it.

Pros
  • Free chlorine tolerance: 0.1ppm
Cons
  • Expensive

Poor - Kitchen & Bathroom Lights

If you have ever used a genuine DOW Filmtec membrane you will definitely notice the difference. How it looks, how it is packaged, ID card and stickers. I had to go back. The packaging was opened, came in a box with a lot of traces of circulation. The membrane itself had no identification, link, container, branding, etc. It might have worked, but we would have felt uncomfortable using it at home.

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • Poor

Beware of possible fake membranes - they will not work properly.

I think I received a fake diaphragm and not a genuine Dow diaphragm. This unit lasted us less than 5 months before it broke down and was producing water with TDS/PPM levels of 176-198! When it was first installed the reading was around 10 but it slowly deteriorated to the point where it was essentially tap water coming out of our reverse osmosis system. I used to buy membranes from a specialist reverse osmosis supplier and they will give our family 2-3 years of reliable service before needingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Diaphragm
Cons
  • Small parts
