I've tried Axeon and Spectrum membranes.
The Spectrum i have at the moment is on it's way out after 11 months, not impressed.
In honesty i do run them on a tight ratio as im on a water meter.
So im going for a cheapie this time round, just to satisfy my curiosity for how it performs and for how long.

Post by: Smudger on May 26, 2020, 08:41:05 pm: Be careful there was a guy on eBay flogging membrains for about £160 - they were cr@p as it couldn't get my tds below 18

Post by: Lee GLS on May 26, 2020, 08:49:01 pm: I bought a cheap Chinese one off eBay and it’s been brilliant. My input TDS is roughly 350-400 and it produces at 007, my previous Axeon HF4 would produce 010 when it was new.

It takes my tds of 308-310 down to 007 that Im happy enough with given its price.

It was SB Cleaning, he bought his off eBay. Have a look at the threads asking about the grant.

Post by: Jack Judd on May 27, 2020, 10:25:49 pm: As anyone tried soaking their membranes in descaler in order to be able to reue them. I saw a thread ages ago and I can't seem to find it. I need to buy some new 40/40 and would like to soak my old ones. I get mine shipped from Belguim. www.aqua-com.eu €200 each and the best quality i have come across.

Post by: Smudger on May 28, 2020, 11:11:30 pm: Yes I have done it and it works - I leave the membrane in soak over the weekend

unfortunately the effects are short lived as the TDS creeps up over a period of 4 weeks ( I produce between 1200 and 1600 litres of pure per day ) I did it 3 times before deciding to just get a new one

Prices seem very reasonable.
