What is the Ultrafiltration system included with the unit?
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane-based filtration system with pores as small as 0.01 microns. It effectively removes solid particulates such as lead, copper, pharmaceuticals, bacteria, and viruses.
Unlike reverse osmosis, UF systems do not produce wastewater and work efficiently even under low water pressure, ensuring a simple and easy setup. However, it is important to note that ultrafiltration does not remove hardness minerals like calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg).
