Many whole house filter companies will declare they have “certified components” for their whole house filters to keep away from the excessive cost of UL testing. This only says that the different parts used inside their system had been individually certified.

“Certified components” on a non-standardized filter system proves nothing about the design of the system such as the right quantity of the filtration media, correct water circulation through the media, and the careful arrangement of the filtration media.

Watch out for this deceptive practice on any low priced whole house water filter system.

During normal operation over a period of time, RO membrane elements are subject to fouling by suspended or sparingly soluble materials that may be present in the feedwater.

Common examples of foulants are:

Calcium carbonate scale
Sulfate scale of calcium, barium or strontium
Metal oxides (iron, manganese, copper, nickel, aluminum, etc.)
Polymerized silica scale
Inorganic colloidal deposits
Mixed inorganic/organic colloidal deposits
NOM organic material (Natural Organic Matter)
Man-made organic material (e.g. antiscalant/dispersants, cationic polyelectrolytes) Biological (bacterial bioslime, algae, mold, or fungi)
The nature and rapidity of fouling depends on a number of factors, such as the quality of the feedwater and the system recovery rate. Typically, fouling is progressive, and if not controlled early, will impair the RO membrane element performance in a relatively short time. Cleaning should occur when the RO shows evidence of fouling, just prior to a long-term shutdown, or as a matter of scheduled routine maintenance. The elements shall be maintained in a clean or “nearly clean” condition to prevent excessive fouling by the foulants listed above.
