What Is a Hollow Fiber Membrane?
A hollow fiber membrane is made of hollow fibers resembling tiny tubes, riddled with extremely small pores (about 0.01 micron) that act as a filter, efficiently separating contaminants from water without the use of chemicals.
What Can a Hollow Fiber Membrane Filter Out?
Hollow fiber membrane technology can filter out a wide range of contaminants, including:
Bacteria and viruses
- Effectively filters out bacteria and viruses larger than 0.01 micron
Sediment and rust
- Filters out sediment, rust, and small particles such as sand and soil
Organic compounds and chemicals
- When combined with other technologies such as Activated Carbon, it can remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chlorine
Comparing Filtration Technologies
| Technology | Pore size | What it filters | Pros |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hollow Fiber Membrane | ~0.01 micron | Bacteria, viruses, sediment | Chemical-free, highly effective |
| Activated Carbon | N/A | Chlorine, VOCs, odors | Improves taste and odor |
| Ion Exchange Resin | N/A | Heavy metals, hardness | Reduces water hardness |
