The Ultrafilter Water Purification System is a stand-alone system that consistently provides clean, filtered water for animal drinking water applications. The system can be applied universally to any Edstrom automated watering system, and used as a stand alone unit or as pre-filter for a reverse osmosis system. When used before a reverse osmosis system, the Ultrafilter helps increase membrane life.

The Ultrafilter Water Purification System removes bacteria and viruses from animal drinking water. The system is self-flushing, greatly reducing on-going maintenance costs. In addition, the system only uses power to conduct the flushing, so it can safely run for several days without power, while still supplying purified water.

The system is installed by Edstrom Installation Technicians. Systems can be added to new or existing aimal watering systems to improve water quality and remove variables in the water supply.

Ultrafiltration provides a level of purification between particle filtration and reverse osmosis, removing viruses and bacteria while leaving in most minerals. For a greater level of purity reverse osmosis will be required. In those applications an Ultrafilter can be used to protect the RO membrane, increase RO efficiency, and reduce operating costs.

Filtration Comparison

Features & Benefits

•  Removes over 99.99% of viruses and bacteria from incoming water supply providing 
   safer, cleaner water.
•  Self-flushing system reduces operating and maintenance costs.
•  System will operate for several days without power, allowing for continued purification
   during emergencies.
•  Compact unit can be easily added to any existing automated watering system.
•  Unit can be used for stand-alone filtration or as prefiltration to a reverse osmosis system.

Application/Operation 

The Ultrafilter Water Purification System physically blocks out contaminants like bacteria, parasites and viruses as the water enters. This ‘point of entry’ water filtration ensures that your entire system is supplied with cleaner water. A carbon pre-filter removes large particles from the source water to protect and extend the life of the unit. This filter also reduces the taste and odor of aesthetic chlorine. A stainless steel re-usable mesh filter is an optional replacement for the carbon filter in applications where chlorine removal and control is not desired.

The Ultrafilter Water Purifier uses thousands of ultrafiltration hollow fibre membrane strands. Each membrane strand contains billions of microscopic pores. Facility water pressure pushes water molecules through these pores towards the hollow center of the membrane, while blocking out larger contaminants such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. Filtered water then flows through each fibre, out of the unit, and into the animal watering system or RO unit.

Unwanted particles and micro-organisms are flushed out of the System during the automatic cleaning cycle, which occurs at least once per day.
