AQU-160 UF Membrane – Ultrafiltration Hollow Fiber Filter The AQU-160 UF Membrane is a hollow fiber ultrafiltration element used in water treatment systems where improved clarity and pathogen reduction are needed. It captures bacteria, suspended solids, and other larger contaminants while allowing clean water to pass. Because of this performance, it enhances both domestic and small commercial water purification setups. In addition, this membrane can be used as a pre-treatment stage ahead of fine filtration or reverse osmosis systems to protect downstream components and improve overall system efficiency. Its physical separation process does not require chemical dosing, which simplifies maintenance and reduces operating costs. How Ultrafiltration Works Ultrafiltration uses hollow fiber technology with microscopic pores that trap suspended particles and microbes. As water flows through the bundle of fibers, contaminants remain outside while permeate (filtered water) moves through, resulting in significantly improved water clarity and reduced turbidity. Because it operates at relatively low pressures, this UF element uses less energy compared to higher-pressure membrane methods, yet still delivers reliable performance for many water treatment needs. Key Benefits of This UF Filter Hollow fiber design for effective pathogen and particle removal Improves water clarity and reduces suspended solids Compatible with various home and commercial filtration systems Operates at low pressure, reducing energy use Suitable for use before more advanced filtration stages Durable construction with dependable performance Technical Details Specification Details Model AQU-160 Filter Type Hollow fiber ultrafiltration module Fiber Material PAN / PS / PP / PVDF options Filter Area Approx. 22–40 m² (varies by version) Dimensions Approx.

Suggested Applications This ultrafiltration membrane element is ideal for: Domestic water purification systems Small commercial water treatment Pre-treatment ahead of reverse osmosis units Drinking water clarification Cafés, small offices, and food prep areas By removing larger contaminants early, this membrane helps prolong the life of finer filtration stages and improves overall water quality. Installation and Care Tips To install the AQU-160 UF Membrane, place it in a compatible ultrafiltration housing. Ensure that feed water is pre-filtered where necessary to remove large solids that might foul the membrane. Routine backwashing or flushing (based on your system design and water quality) can help maintain permeate flow and extend membrane life. Why Choose the AQU-160 UF Membrane This ultrafiltration element offers a good balance of filtration performance, energy efficiency, and durable design. As a result, it works well in both household and commercial setups where improving water clarity and reducing microbial load are priorities. Its hollow fiber technology delivers high-quality permeate while reducing maintenance needs.
