Bregus ProTech cartridge sets

Professional protection for your reverse osmosis system

Bregus® ProTech pre-filtration cartridges are the guarantee of long-lasting and uninterrupted operation of reverse osmosis systems. Developed using the latest technologies and manufactured from the highest quality food-grade materials, our sets provide multi-stage water purification before it reaches the reverse osmosis membrane.

Why is pre-filtration critically important?

Reverse osmosis membranes are extremely sensitive to mechanical contaminants, chlorine and organic compounds. Without proper pre-filtration:

  • The membrane quickly becomes clogged with mechanical impurities
  • Chlorine destroys the membrane structure, shortening its service life
  • Organic compounds form biofilm on the membrane surface
  • System performance drops sharply
  • Purified water quality deteriorates

Bregus® ProTech sets solve these problems, ensuring optimal membrane operating conditions and extending its service life to 3-5 years.

Available sets
