The 0.1μm PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane and 0.01μm PVC ultrafiltration membrane are two common membrane types used in ultrafiltration water purifiers. They differ in membrane material, filtration precision, filtration structure, cleaning method, and application scenarios.
For ultrafiltration water purifiers, the membrane material and filtration precision directly affect the type of impurities that can be intercepted and the suitable water purification application. In general, a 0.1μm PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane uses a PVDF coated membrane with 0.1-micron filtration precision, while a 0.01μm PVC ultrafiltration membrane uses a PVC ultrafiltration membrane with 0.01-micron filtration precision.
0.1μm PVDF Ultrafiltration Membrane: PVDF Coated Membrane with 0.1-Micron Filtration Precision
The 0.1μm PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane generally uses a PVDF coated membrane, with a filtration precision of 0.1 micron.
The 0.1-micron PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane is mainly used for relatively clear water and can be installed on the main incoming water pipeline of a whole house for whole-house water purification. It is also suitable for filtering turbid well water, rural muddy water, stream water, mountain spring water, and other natural water sources.
The 0.1μm PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane can effectively intercept impurities such as sediment, rust, colloids, and insect eggs, helping clarify the water quality before the water enters the household pipeline.
Main Advantage of 0.1μm PVDF Ultrafiltration Membrane
A major advantage of the 0.1μm PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane is that the filter element can be repeatedly cleaned through regular hand washing. Regular cleaning can remove accumulated impurities from the membrane surface and help extend the service life of the filter element.
The main disadvantage is that some customers may consider regular hand washing inconvenient.
0.01μm PVC Ultrafiltration Membrane: PVC Ultrafiltration Membrane with 0.01-Micron Filtration Precision
The 0.01μm PVC ultrafiltration membrane generally uses a PVC ultrafiltration membrane, with a filtration precision of 0.01 micron.
The filtration precision of a 0.01-micron PVC ultrafiltration membrane is 10 times higher than that of a 0.1-micron PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane. Therefore, the two membrane types should not be regarded as having a filtration precision range of 0.1~0.01 micron.
The 0.1-micron filtration precision generally refers to 0.1μm PVDF ultrafiltration Membrane, while the 0.01-micron filtration precision generally refers to 0.01μm PVC ultrafiltration membrane.
From a more professional industry perspective, the 0.01-micron PVC membrane is considered an ultrafiltration membrane in the true sense, while the 0.1-micron PVDF coated membrane is generally called a microfiltration membrane.
0.01-Micron PVC Ultrafiltration Membrane for Whole-House Water Purification
The 0.01-micron PVC ultrafiltration membrane can be used for whole-house water purification and installed on the main incoming water pipeline.
For example, the ChengrongTimes intelligent ultrafiltration pre-filter uses an ultrafiltration membrane to further improve water cleanliness. On the basis of filtering common particulate impurities, the system can also remove bacteria and viruses, providing a higher level of water purification for water entering household pipelines.
This makes the 0.01-micron PVC ultrafiltration membrane suitable for whole-house water purification applications where higher filtration precision is required.
0.01-Micron PVC Ultrafiltration Membrane for Mineral-Water-Like Kitchen Water Purifiers
In addition to whole-house water purification, the 0.01-micron PVC ultrafiltration membrane can also be used in mineral-water-like kitchen water purifiers.
For kitchen water purification, activated carbon can be added before the ultrafiltration membrane. The activated carbon helps improve the taste of the water, while the ultrafiltration membrane provides high-precision filtration.
The combination of activated carbon and ultrafiltration can produce mineral-water-like drinking water with a cleaner taste and high-quality daily drinking water performance.
For municipal tap water, this filtration process can provide clean mineral-water-like water while retaining naturally occurring minerals and trace elements in the water.
Chengrong’s Residual-Chlorine-Removing Ultrafiltration Membrane
The 0.01μm PVC ultrafiltration membrane used in Chengrong’s mineral-water-like kitchen water purifier is different from the 0.01μm PVC ultrafiltration membrane used for whole-house water purification.
Chengrong Factory independently developed a residual-chlorine-removing ultrafiltration membrane. In addition to intercepting particulate impurities, bacteria, and viruses in water, this membrane also provides a residual chlorine removal function.
This additional filtration function helps improve the quality and taste of purified water and supports the production of mineral-water-like drinking water.
Chengrong Ultrafiltration Membrane Retains Minerals and Trace Elements
Unlike RO reverse osmosis membranes, Chengrong’s independently developed residual-chlorine-removing ultrafiltration membrane can retain natural minerals and trace elements in water.
Minerals such as calcium and magnesium are naturally present in water. Retaining these minerals allows the purified water to maintain its natural mineral composition rather than removing them through the high-rejection mechanism of RO reverse osmosis.
The combination of ultrafiltration membrane technology, mineral retention, and residual chlorine removal provides a different water purification solution from RO reverse osmosis systems.
