Frotec RO-2012-100Â is a 12" x 2" Domestic Reverse Osmosis Membrane that will provide 100 US Gallons per day, 16 Litres per hour per day at optimum output. It is an Ultra Low Pressure Domestic Reverse Osmosis Membrane that can be used in most types of RO filters.
The Frotec membrane has a 50Psi output, which is the same pressure as most homes. This means you can expect to achieve a much higher RO water output than most other membranes that need a pressure of 60-70Psi, making them less suitable to the average home.
Other Reverse Osmosis membranes are difficult to remove from their housing, with pliers or grips need to be struggled with to break the seal. The Frotec membrane has a hexagonal thread on the end, so you simply insert an Allen key, turn, and remove the membrane. On top of this, the American Membrane technology means a 20% increased water output at lower water pressures.
Operating conditions:
If the operating conditions are not followed appropriately , we can not honor the warranty of the element as you will be unnecessarily reducing the life of the filter.

Operating conditions:
- Elements contain preservative solution, therefore the permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded, to flush the protective solution in the elements.
- Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting
If the operating conditions are not followed appropriately , we can not honor the warranty of the element as you will be unnecessarily reducing the life of the filter.

- b Refer to Cleaning Guidelines of ANDE-AMF.
- c Under certain conditions, the presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents will cause premature membrane failure. Since oxidation damage is not covered under warranty, we recommend removing residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure.
- Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following test conditions:
- 250ppm softened tap water, 77 F(25 C),
- PH=8, and 15% recovery and the specified pressure at 50psi.
- Permeate flow rates for individual elements many vary +/-20%.
