Best Reverse Osmosis Membrane Housing on the Market: How to Pick One!

Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another DIY project. This time, I wanted to install a reverse osmosis system in my house, you know, for better drinking water and stuff. So, I needed to deal with the reverse osmosis membrane housing, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey. Here is how it went down.

First, I started researching online, trying to figure out what kind of membrane I needed. There are tons of options out there, I tell you! I saw some folks recommending those fancy self-cleaning ones that are supposed to improve water flow. Sounds cool, but I wanted something that worked for my setup.

Then I was thinking about the water pressure in my house. I read somewhere that the water pressure affects how well the reverse osmosis thing works. If the pressure is too low, you don’t get good water flow, and the whole thing is not very efficient. So, I made sure to check my water pressure before choosing a membrane, because who wants a slow drip of water, right?

After a lot of digging around, I came across a brand called Dow Filmtec. A guy who runs a water maker business for boats said their SW30-2540 membrane is the best. I don’t have a boat, but it sounded legit, so I decided to check it out. It sounded pretty darn good.

Next, I had to get the actual membrane housing. I wanted something strong and durable, something that wouldn’t fall apart after a few months. Plus, I needed it to be easy to deal with, you know, easy to replace the cartridges and all that. You don’t want to be struggling with complicated stuff when it’s time for maintenance. I did manage to find one, after visiting like a million stores.

Once I got all the parts, it was time to put everything together. It was a bit of a challenge, not gonna lie. You gotta follow the instructions carefully, otherwise, you can end up with leaks or something. Trust me, I had a few close calls, but I managed to get it done. The installation part is not as easy as it looks, I tell you.

Finally, after all that work, I had my reverse osmosis system up and running! Now, my family gets clean drinking water. The water actually tastes better too. It was a bit of a hassle, but totally worth it in the end. Plus, I saved some money by doing it myself instead of hiring someone.

So, that’s my story about dealing with a reverse osmosis membrane housing. Hope you found it helpful. If you’re thinking about installing one of these systems, just do your research, make sure you have the right water pressure, and be prepared for a bit of DIY action. It’s a good feeling to get something like this done yourself. I’m pretty proud of it. Catch you all in the next one!
