The VA-Basic PLUS replacement filters
To ensure that the VA-Basic PLUS water filter continues to provide clean drinking water even after extended use, it is necessary to replace the filters at regular intervals.
The VA-Basic PLUS replacement filter set includes two sediment filters, which filter out coarse suspended particles up to a size of 5 µm from the water, thus protecting the reverse osmosis membrane from damage. The activated carbon post-filter adsorbs chlorine and organic contaminants from the water, contributing to improved water taste.
Efficiency through continuous replacement
Regular maintenance of the VA-Basic PLUS filter is important to maintain its filtration performance. The sediment filter is replaced every six months,and the activated carbon post-filter every 12 months, to ensure consistently high levels of water purity and taste.

500 GPD FILMTEC™ Reverse osmosis-Membranes FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) elements are solutions for industrial, municipal, commercial and consumer water applications. These reverse osmosis membranes provide high retention of dissolved solids and organics and operate very efficiently at lower pressures.The 500 GPD FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis membranes also feature excellent structural strength and are more productive than other reverse osmosis membranes. These membranes are applied to demineralise brackish water or seawater desalination for various industries and applications, including industrial water treatment, power generation, food & beverage processing, municipal desalination and water reuse, and at-home drinking water devices.Features and functions:Material: TFC (DOW™ FILMTEC™)Input water temperature: max. 45 °COperating pressure: 5 - 6 barPermeate production: max. 78 l/hpH-range: 2 - 11Chlorine tolerance: < 0,1 ppmSeparation rate: 98%Filters up to approx. 1900 liters per day (500 gallons per day) Reduction of salinityRemoval of chemical impuritiesRecovery of ultra-pure waterPre-concentration of water streams upstream of evaporatorsReduction of wastewater volume by increasing water reuseTap water, brackish water2,5", 4", 8" membranesHighest retentionLow energy consumptionResistant to impuritiesTypical applications:Reverse osmosisDrinking waterUltra-pure waterProcess waterFood and beverage industryChemical processingMetal surface treatmentElectronicsNanofiltrationUltrafiltrationAll rights reserved by FILMTEC™VA-Standard-Cartridge-SystemUsing a reliable and robust water filter cartridge system in water filters is essential. Often the pre-filters and post-filters in a water treatment system are the Achilles' heel, the so-called weak point, of the water filter. The filter cartridges must withstand pressure peaks of up to 50 bar, which can occur in the water pipes. At the same time, the cartridge must not burst or even pop out of the cartridge head. In addition, the filter cartridge must ensure a high flow rate in connection with the filter medium used.The VA-Standard-Membrane-Cartridges are sealed using the rotation welding process, which achieves maximum strength.In addition, the membrane cartridge has seals, which do not need to be cleaned, checked or replaced when changing the filter. With every new membrane cartridge, you also receive new seals.The connection between the VA-Standard-Membrane-Head and the VA-Standard-Membran-Cartridge is established using a bayonet lock. If the cartridge is under pressure, the connection of the bayonet lock engages more firmly. This makes it almost impossible to loosen or open the connection under pressure. Another feature is the mechanical lock of the water supply in the VA-Standard-Membrane-Head. Two mechanical valves lock the water inlet and outlet in the VA-Standard-Membrane-Head if the VA-Standard-Membrane-Cartridge is removed. This prevents water from running out of the VA-Standard-Membrane-Head in an uncontrolled manner and causing damage to the water treatment system or the environment.The VA-Standard-Cartridge-System is modern, robust and safe. It is also perfect as an assembly kit to realise your water filter variations.

Activated carbon filtration: Activated carbon filters remove pollutants such as dust, heavy metals and organic substances, as well as odours and tastes. In the course of the service life of the activated carbon, the pollutants accumulate in the filter.Therefore, replacement must take place at appropriate intervals. If no replacement takes place, the substances already absorbed may be released, which in turn causes additional contamination of water.
