Installation and Integration
The Single UFM element integrates easily into new and existing clinical water systems. Depending on the application, it can be installed directly before the washer-disinfector or incorporated into a central water treatment installation.
- Steris washer-disinfectors
- Olympus washer-disinfectors
- Pentax Medical systems
- Point-of-use installations
- Clinical water systems
Maintenance and Replacement
The integrated forward-flush system helps minimise membrane fouling by automatically removing accumulated particles. This reduces maintenance requirements and supports long-term operational reliability.
Routine maintenance requirements depend on water quality, operating conditions and the selected system configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What water quality can the Single UFM element handle?
The Single UFM element is designed for standard-temperature clinical water applications and provides reliable membrane filtration for particles and microorganisms. The appropriate configuration depends on the incoming water quality and application.
What is the expected service life?
Service life depends on operating conditions, water quality and maintenance intervals. The integrated forward-flush technology helps extend membrane lifetime by reducing fouling.
Can the Single UFM element be integrated into existing installations?
Yes. The Single UFM element can be integrated into both new and existing installations. The required configuration depends on the available space, flow requirements and system layout.
Do I still replace downstream cartridges?
Yes, but typically less frequently. By removing particles before they reach downstream filtration components, the Single UFM element helps extend cartridge lifetime and reduce maintenance requirements.
