Nanofiltration
The alternative to traditional water softening
With nanofiltration, ions dissolved in water are held back to a lesser degree than with reverse osmosis. Typical salt retention rates are between approximately 80 - 85 %. Multivalent ions (e.g. Ca and Mg) are retained better than univalent ions (e.g. Na, K). Nanofiltration systems are often a good alternative to reverse osmosis systems because there is no need for time-consuming regular regeneration with large amounts of salts.
Cut costs
If lower salt retention is acceptable, nanofiltration is a suitable choice. These systems can run at lower operating pressures, a smaller booster pump can be used, all of which reduces costs. Not only does this reduce the cost of your initial investment but more importantly ongoing operating costs come down too. Does this sound good to you? Want to know more?
