Why Cartridge RO Protection Is Costing You More Than You Think
Cartridges | Potential Savings by Filtersafe’s Technology |
|---|---|
Rising differential pressure (expensive energy use) | Stable low dP |
Manual replacement (expensive labor costs) | Automatic self-cleaning (reliable, lower energy use) |
Biofilm risk | Frequent screen cleaning reduces downstream contamination risks |
Frequent cartridge purchasing and disposal | ~5-year screen lifespan |

What Our Clients Say About Us
In our search for a filter that could do a better job of protecting the cartridge and RO membranes, only Filtersafe was able to offer us filtration down to 10 microns.
In addition to this critical feature, their filters are the easiest to maintain. The filters are horizontal, so it’s easier and safer for my staff to access them. The TITAN filters are easy to open, access the screen, and put back together. We don’t have to touch the motor to reach the screen – it’s all designed for convenient maintenance. In addition, because Filtersafe started on ships, they know how to keep each filter’s footprint as small as possible.
