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.
