Tap Into Consistency in Each and Every FILMTEC Element

System performance has a direct impact on both your reputation - and your bottom line. The performance of reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water systems is directly related to the quality of the RO membrane installed in the system. While most membranes meet expectations, a defective element means a defective system, so even a small number of defective elements results in dissatisfied customers, additional costs for service calls, and damage to a dealer and manufacturer's reputation. When your reputation is at stake, you want the best components available.

Superior quality and consistency through advance process control. FILMTEC™ membranes have become the undisputed industry leader by delivering the highest quality elements for home drinking water. FilmTec relies on automated element fabrication and world-class quality and process controls to produce the elements used by most of the major franchised drinking water system suppliers.

Benefits of RO Water Include:

  • Safer drinking water: Consumers want safe, healthy, good-tasting water. RO purified water meets the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act and EPA standards for drinking water.
  • Good taste: RO removes excess minerals, odor, color, and other organic compounds that contribute to bad taste.
  • Health: RO membranes provide a barrier to bacteria and virus resulting in healthier water for drinking and cooking (better tasting coffee and other beverages, soups and water for general cooking).
