Title: Ro-man Membranes help
Post by: geefree on February 16, 2010, 09:38:10 am

Hi,

Ro-man have gone bust apparently, and i have a 300gpd unit from them,

what i need to know is can i buy a membrane from anywhere, as a guy in a shop said they are all slightly different?

Thanks.

Gary.

Hi Gaz

Just in the process of changing mine. Best I found is Purefreedom. They have the 100gpd mem and also do a 150gpd mem. So like me if you put these in you RO 3 x mem. you will increase your output to 450gpd.

Not cheap £35 + vat  for the 150's

Try
www.purefreedom.co.uk
www.polarbrite.co.uk
www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk
www.windowcleaningcentre.co.uk

Also you can get the membranes from aquatic centres.
If I was you I would upgrade to 150GPD membranes.

Gardiners are doing a special on a set of three filters.  They have confirmed to me that they will fit the Ro-Man housings.

its the membranes that are more expensive.

£200 sounds a lot, Matt, but they should last you a few years.  Spread the cost like that and it doesn't sound so bad.

Think of how many thousands of litres you'll produce in that time.

Ian I know, the membranes are £38 each and I have 5 of them in my RO.
It might be cheaper to buy a H5-4040 lol

I've got one.  RO-man - cost about £650 including booster pump.

I produce about 10-12,000 lts/wk and the first membrane lasted 18 months.  Cost me about £250 to replace from Gapswater
