UF Membrane Specifications
The CeraGuard UF membrane represents the next generation
of affordable residential and commercial water treatment
products by providing a “Green” approach in the water treat-
ment marketplace as compared to competitive technologies
such as reverse osmosis and ultra violet sterilization.
