Can a high-flow filter element rupture?

High-flow filter elements are used in the pre-stage of reverse osmosis systems and are also known as security filters. The high-flow filter element intercepts original impurity particles before the medium flows into the reverse osmosis system. High-flow filter elements are an indispensable filtration process.

Why is a high-flow filter element an important process? Installing a reverse osmosis membrane on a reverse osmosis device allows for precise filtration of small particles. It is known that when the amount of pollutants in a filter reaches a certain limit, the filtration effect deteriorates, and the filter element needs to be replaced. However, reverse osmosis membranes have a reverse cleaning function, allowing them to clean stains and continue to be used.

However, filters are always consumable. In a reverse osmosis system, if the upstream high-flow filter cannot effectively intercept impurities, the reverse osmosis membrane will require more frequent cleaning, with shorter intervals between cleanings, leading to frequent replacement of the thousands of dollars worth of reverse osmosis membrane.

Therefore, the filtration effect of the high-flow filter element is crucial. The quality of domestically produced high-flow filter elements varies greatly; some are even sold as simple two-layer non-woven fabrics folded into a filter element. Ordinary filter manufacturers only pursue price, not quality.

Whether a high-flow filter element will rupture depends primarily on its operating pressure differential. PALL type high-flow filter, 3M high-flow filter, HORIZON high-flow filter, etc., are several different product forms, with different high-flow filtration methods.

Generally, the filter element skeleton thickness is less than 3mm. Under high-intensity operation, there is a risk of fracture of the filter element skeleton. The filter element skeleton is prone to fracture under high-intensity operation, which can cause the filter material to lose support, prematurely ending the filter element's lifespan and directly affecting filtration. The inner skeleton of the high-flow filter element is specially designed with a more suitable polypropylene skeleton, capable of withstanding any harsh filtering environment, providing more reliable product use.
