Reverse Osmosis vs Ultrafiltration

Reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration are two of the most popular and effective water filtration systems on the market. Though RO and ultrafiltration both have remarkable filtration properties, they also have some key differences.
Join John Woodard, our Master Specialist, as we dive into the differences and comparative advantages and disadvantages of these two water filtration systems.

This is by far the best comparison video I have seen. Very informative.
Thank you very much 👍

[@96BxelA]

I’ve watched a few of your videos now John. Very informative and professional presentations. Thank you.

[@geraldinawise]

finally an analysis for consumers! Thank you!

[@slipperyslope3912]

An objective and honest water video. How refreshing!

[@nkat3199]

Thanks for explaining the comparison in such a simple way

[@qamar53]

Excellent description and explanation

[@elliotamankwah3745]

Thank you for this

[@aleisastia]

thank you sir..!

[@EcoperlaGlobal]

Great video :)

[@yantisusantiridwan3949]

thanks for your explanation sir, anyway can i ask something ? is UF can be a good treatment for rain water for domestic use? Thank You

[@notsocreative]

Great video John! If you have the time, I have 3 questions:
1- (a) Going with an UF system, what are the dangers in ingesting dissolved inorganic matters? (b) Does municipal water actually have the dissolved inorganic matters removed?
2- On an RO system, can the waste water be redirected easily to be used as 'grey water' for toilets and washing machine?

[@EcoperlaGlobal]

1 - tap water should meet the appropriate standards, so UF water can be consumed safely :)
2 - yes, the water rejected by the RO can be used as gray water, e.g. for toilets :)

[@sko1beer]

@@EcoperlaGlobal if you have time you can even use the waste water from the ro for the washing machine

[@tiorobot]

Good idea repurposing the waste water

[@WanderingVeteran]

Hi John with Fresh Water there.

[@rsaathoff]

Does UF remove fluoride? I'm having hard time deciding between RO vs UF in Phoenix

[@xmrich2]

it is a great RO system ,how can we contact you?

[@jamerican_usnavy]

which is best for microplastics?

[@toostrange9357]

What is storage tank inside made od??

[@Baseballisbest67]

Does UF take out fluoride, virus, parasite, bacteria, lead, arsenic, ?

[@souvikC4u]

😂😂😂😂 your RO is so funny and sarcastic.. good one 👍

[@deboladdey6456]

Can you connect both ?

[@sko1beer]

If you are running both have UF first then let it go into the RO 2nd

[@aluisious]

There's no point, RO is better. Just run RO.

[@vinceleto]

My RO system gets down to say 20 ppm and after 10-12 months with the same filters it’s pushing out 55-60 ppm. What is the average ppm on a UF system? Is ppm really that important?

[@Sylvan_dB]

empty the storage tank, fill it and empty again. now what ppm do you get?
No such thing as universal average ppm. Figure your incoming ppm, 95% should be gone.

[@guidedbygreen1480]

Ppm or mg/L is a unit of measurement. I believe you're discussing TDS?

[@vinceleto]

@@guidedbygreen1480 Yep, TDS is what I meant. I change the filters about every 10 months. Once my ice cubes start getting cloudy thats a good sign for me to change them

[@julianmunoz7836]

@@vinceleto nice pro tip Chum

[@alexanderstephenevi733]

UF for me!

[@aluisious]

RO is also just a filter. It's really, really small holes in a membrane, and water is pushed through by pressure. "Separating molecules," lol.

[@guillermodvl]

Is there a system that has both?

[@Beniamin6665]

Yes. Depending on what you want to do and if you live in an apartment building with municipal water.

[@tadeusz6061]

Ultrafiltracion only for crystal water than :) not for cities

[@abhijithota6454]

hello ce3040 kids

[@905Alive]

I swear no one just goes into the facts, I want the simplest filter that takes out uranium, I would like to see before and after tests, not crazy about RO, takes everything and then you have to add minerals, doesn't anyone make a product that just removes uranium and gets to the point?? Uranium is a huge issue in US drinking water.

[@aluisious]

If there's uranium in your water you need to move. There's no reason for it to be in your water except living downstream of Hanford or a similar facility, and then you're still going to be showering in it and cleaning your clothes with it.
