Yes! We specialize in OEM/ODM water treatment solutions and can design custom filtration systems tailored to your business, industry, or brand requirements. Our team can assist with system design, branding, private labeling, and technical support.
What is the difference between Reverse Osmosis (RO), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Nanofiltration (NF)?
1. Reverse Osmosis (RO): Removes up to 99.9% of contaminants, including salts, bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals.
2. Ultrafiltration (UF): Uses a membrane filtration process to remove bacteria and particles, while retaining essential minerals.
3. Nanofiltration (NF): Falls between RO and UF, removing some salts and organic compounds while allowing certain minerals to pass through.
How often should I replace filters and membranes?
Filter and membrane lifespan depends on water quality, usage, and system type. General guidelines:
1. Sediment & Carbon Filters: Replace every 6–12 months.
2. RO Membranes: Replace every 2–3 years, depending on water conditions.
3. UF/NF Membranes: Replace every 1–2 years.
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and water quality.

How long does a water softener system last?
Most systems last 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Resin beads may need replacement after 8–10 years.
Is softened water safe to drink?
Yes, but those on low-sodium diets should consider potassium-based softeners or install a separate drinking water filter.
Do softener systems remove iron or chlorine?
Not typically. If your water contains iron, manganese, or chlorine, consider a dual-system setup or add specialized pre-filters.
Can I use a water softener with a septic system?
Yes. Studies show no negative impact, especially when using metered regeneration systems.
How do I know when to add salt to my softener?
Check the brine tank monthly. Modern systems often alert you automatically when salt levels are low.
Membrane Water Treatment Systems
What’s the difference between UF and RO?
UF (Ultrafiltration) removes suspended solids, bacteria, and larger molecules. RO (Reverse Osmosis) removes dissolved salts and minerals. They’re often used together for complete treatment.
How long do membranes last?
With proper maintenance and CIP, UF and RO membranes can last 3–5 years, depending on feed water quality and system design.
Can your membrane systems treat seawater?
Yes. Our seawater RO systems are designed to handle high salinity with corrosion-resistant materials and energy recovery devices.
Do you offer plug-and-play solutions?
Absolutely. We offer containerized membrane systems that are factory-tested, compact, and quick to deploy.
Water Filters
How do I choose between a media filter and a micron filter?
Media filters are ideal for high-volume solids removal and can be backwashed. Micron filters offer precise filtration for fine particles and are best for polishing applications.
What is the expected lifespan of a water filter?
Cartridge filters generally last 1–3 months. Media filters require periodic backwashing and media replacement every 1–2 years, depending on usage.
Are your filters suitable for seawater or chemical-heavy applications?
Yes, we offer FRP and stainless steel housings resistant to corrosion and suitable for marine or aggressive chemical environments.
Can I automate the filter cleaning process?
Absolutely. Our automatic backwash filters come with timer-based or differential pressure-triggered controls.
Do you provide replacement parts and consumables?
Yes. We supply cartridges, filter bags, media (sand, carbon, etc.), valve kits, and O-rings for all major systems.
Ion Exchange Water Treatment Systems
What is the difference between softening and deionization?
Softening removes only hardness ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), while deionization removes both cations and anions to produce high-purity water.
How often is regeneration needed?
It depends on water quality and usage. Most systems regenerate every few days to a week under normal loads.
Which chemicals are required for regeneration?
Softening uses NaCl. Demineralization uses HCl or H₂SO₄ for cation resin and NaOH for anion resin.
Can ion exchange work with seawater or high-TDS water?
Ion exchange is more suitable for low to moderate TDS water. High-TDS applications often use RO as a primary treatment.
Are mixed bed systems better than two-bed systems?
Mixed bed polishers are used for final polishing after RO or two-bed deionization to achieve ultra-pure water.
