Residential RO elements are mainly used in various home-used water purifiers and small commercial reverse osmosis water system. These membranes are commonly produced in a spiral wound configuration and are classified in two general different types: CTA (cellulose triacetate) which require a chlorinated water source and have a daily rated capacity of 10-16 gallons per day and TFC or TFM (Thin Film Composite or Thin Firm Material) which require a non-chlorinated water source and have daily rated capacities ranging from 18-150 gallons per day. At HID, our residential membranes are all of type TFC and the GPD range is 65psi to a maximum of 200psi. They are also commonly referred to as low-pressure membrane with an operating parameter of 40-200 psi.
These residential membrane can be produced in such a way it will fit any standard residential membrane housing or in such a way it fits only proprietary system design. HID offers these services for all models of membranes (OEM and ODM). On our website, we have the most common designs and models that are widely used in most RO residential water purification systems. For example, the TFC-2012-100 and TFC-2012-200. These model fit in most small systems that work under an extremely low pressure, this reverse osmosis membrane element are applicable to water purifying devices for residences, hospitals, laboratories etc. At HID, we offer free samples for these models for customers that would wish to see the membrane performance before purchasing large scale orders.
If you not familiar with the RO remembers, the name might be a little it confusing and can be hard to distinguish. The name is related to they function, size, type, and the amount of water they can produce in one day. Let’s take for an example: the HID TFC-1812-100 residential membrane. The first part of the name “TFC” show the type of technology used to make the membrane (Thin Film Composite) like we mentioned in the first section of this article. On some residential membrane, they might be labeled as ULP (Ultra - Low Pressure) or XLP (Extra Low Pressure). The next part of the name is the membrane’s dimensions, in length and diameter 1812. The first is the diameter of the element in inches (multiplied by 0.1) and the the last to digits, is the length of the element in inches. Example shown in diagram below:

We have been producing residential membrane for over 10 year and our products have under gone a series of evolution in design, and technologies used in production of the membrane. Our researchers has been forced on improving the quality and perfect the performance of the membrane for many years. Now the membranes can reach very high purification levels that stand out. These residential membranes are capable of purifying your home tap water into pure, delicious drinking water. The advanced membrane can safely eliminate up to 98% of dissolved solids, metals, and harmful chemicals from your tap water.
