Reverse Osmosis vs Ultrafiltration

[@Peter-.H]

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

[@geraldinawise]

finally an analysis for consumers! Thank you!

[@96BxelA]

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

[@slipperyslope3912]

An objective and honest water video. How refreshing!

[@szekerespista3758]

In case of UF filtration, to add a UV lamp is not necessary? If yes, which is the last filter, the UV lamp or the UF membrane filter? Thanks!

[@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

[@nkat3199]

Thanks for explaining the comparison in such a simple way

[@qamar53]

Excellent description and explanation

[@jbamerican_usnavy]

which is best for microplastics?

[@rsaathoff]

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

[@WanderingVeteran]

Hi John with Fresh Water there.

[@RynaxAlien]

Can Ultrafiltration be portable? Does it stop heavy metals and radioactive fallout materials?

[@aleisastia]

thank you sir..!

[@elliotamankwah3745]

Thank you for this

[@xmrich2]

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

[@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

[@Baseballisbest67]

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

[@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.

What is storage tank inside made od??

[@EcoperlaGlobal]

Great video :)

[@alexanderstephenevi733]

UF for me!

[@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

[@souvikC4u]

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

[@GLDPVET]

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.

[@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.

[@tadeusz6061]

Ultrafiltracion only for crystal water than :) not for cities

[@kretaceous]

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.

[@Shauntomac]

What did you go with?
