UF4000 is a high-capacity whole-house ultrafiltration system with a 0.01 µm PVDF membrane and automatic backwashing. A flow rate of up to 4,000 L/h makes the system suitable for villas, large homes and properties with multiple bathrooms and high simultaneous water demand.
UF4000 filters water but does not soften it
The 0.01 µm membrane is designed to remove suspended and microbiological contaminants. It does not remove dissolved calcium and magnesium salts, so for limescale protection UF4000 can be combined with a water softener. For chlorine reduction, carbon filtration is used, while reverse osmosis is used for substantial TDS reduction in drinking water.
What the 0.01 µm UF membrane removes, how automatic backwashing works, and which properties benefit from a flow rate of up to 4,000 litres per hour.
UF4000 is a high-capacity whole-house ultrafiltration system installed on the main water supply line. It filters water before it is distributed to showers, bathrooms, the kitchen, household appliances and other points of use.
The stated UF4000 flow rate is up to 4,000 litres per hour, or up to 4 m³/h. Its higher capacity makes the model suitable for villas, large homes, multiple bathrooms and situations where several water outlets are used at the same time.
The main difference is flow capacity. UF4000 is rated for up to 4,000 L/h and is better suited to properties with higher peak water demand. When choosing between the models, it is important to consider not only average consumption, but also the number of showers, taps and other fixtures used simultaneously.
Water passes through a PVDF membrane with a pore size of 0.01 µm. Dissolved mineral salts pass through the membrane, while significantly larger particles and microorganisms are physically retained on its surface.
The system is designed to remove bacteria, suspended solids, fine sand, clay particles, colloids, turbidity and microplastics. This allows UF4000 to act as a central physical barrier before water is distributed throughout the property.
The 0.01 µm UF membrane can significantly reduce bacterial load because bacteria are physically retained by the membrane. Where maximum microbiological protection is required, ultrafiltration can also be combined with UV disinfection.
Yes. The system is particularly useful for properties with storage tanks, as stored water may contain sediment, fine particles and microbiological contaminants. The UF membrane provides an additional physical barrier before water reaches points of use.
The system includes a controller that automatically starts membrane backwashing according to a preset schedule. Backwashing helps remove accumulated contaminants, reduces the amount of manual maintenance and supports more stable membrane performance.
Yes. The UF4000 membrane cartridge is removable, washable and replaceable. This simplifies system maintenance and allows the membrane element to be replaced without replacing the entire filter housing.
No. Ultrafiltration does not remove dissolved calcium and magnesium salts and therefore does not replace a water softener. If plumbing fixtures, water heaters and household appliances need protection from limescale, UF4000 can be used together with a water softening system.
No. The ultrafiltration membrane is designed for the physical removal of particles and microorganisms. To reduce chlorine, odour and taste, an additional stage with activated or catalytic carbon is required.
No. Dissolved mineral salts pass through the ultrafiltration membrane, so UF4000 has little effect on water TDS. For substantial TDS reduction, reverse osmosis or another demineralisation technology is used.
Yes. UF4000 supports both vertical and horizontal installation, making it easier to place the equipment in technical spaces and adapt the installation to the existing pipework configuration.
UF4000 is designed primarily for whole-house water filtration and does not remove dissolved salts. If deeper drinking-water treatment and substantial TDS reduction are required, a separate reverse osmosis system can be installed under the kitchen sink.
