Membraloop uses membrane fibers to purify the water using only the upstream pressure of the existing pressure pump (up to 5 bar) and therefore works without electrical energy. The module consists of a highly flexible hose with integrated ultrafiltration membranes. The connection is made between the existing pump (e.g. fresh water pump on board) and the consumer or consumers (e.g. boat pantry tap). Thanks to the high flexibility of the hose, it can also be installed in very tight spaces.
One module of the ultrafiltration unit can treat 15 liters of drinking water per minute (depending on pressure, temperature and raw water composition). Membraloop contains the patented C-MEMª membrane with an average pore diameter of around 0.020 micrometers. This ensures the complete removal of non-dissolved solids, bacteria, viruses and worm eggs (membrane barrier) (purification level up to 99.9999 %).
With a cleaning interval of up to one year and a service life of up to 10 years, maintenance costs are very low and regular filter replacement costs are eliminated. The Membraloop can be cleaned easily and without additional chemicals.*
The effectiveness of the Membraloop® water filter has been tested and confirmed by a globally recognized testing and certification institute. Over 1 million bacteria (including Escherichia coli and enterococci) were added to the test water in order to test the retention of the Membaloop in practice. No bacteria could be detected after Filtration. The test report can be sent upon request.
*Due to ultrafiltration, which removes germs to the greatest possible extent, no chemicals are required during regular operation. Annual cleaning with food safe fully biodegradable citric acid and, if necessary, subsequently with a highly diluted 1% sodium hypochlorite solution is recommended.
The membrane and the materials used in the Membraloop comply with the European Regulation EU No. 10/2011 and No. 1935/2004 for use for drinking water.
