Water Flow Path - All RO Systems:

About your membrane:

TFC vs CTA Membranes
TFC membranes are recommended over the CTA due to their superior performance on water supplies with high pH, TDS & hardness. Additional benefits of TFC membranes include:

Greater Reduction of Contaminants	Longer Life
Better for Low Pressure Applications	More Water Production

Upgrading Membranes to Higher Gallon Output:
If selecting a higher gallon membrane than your original system, you must also select a matching flow control listed in the Accessories box below. This is critical to insure adaquate flushing and long term function of your system. Each flow control comes complete with easy to follow instructions for installation.

Retrofitting CTA with TFC:
TFC Membranes require non-chlorinated water. To retrofit your CTA RO with the TFC membrane on chlorinated water supplies, replace the Sediment Prefilter with the Carbon Block Prefilter to remove the chlorine. If your system has 2 prefilter housings, install this filter in the second housing after the sediment filter. On non-chlorinated water supplies, no change to the Prefilter is necessary.
