Aquatec Permeate pump

The Permeate Pump is a very simple, and yet revolutionary, device. It operates as a non-electrical energy recovery device which dramatically improves the efficiency of reverse osmosis (RO) systems.

Using only the available energy from the brine water typically lost to the drain, the pump forces product water into the storage tank. This process effectively reduces membrane back pressure to less than 5 psi and allows the membrane to maximize its use of the available feed pressure.

The Permeate Pump can also bring the storage tank up to line pressure and shut the system down when the tank reaches full capacity. This provides higher delivery pressure, more available water, superior water quality, and extended filter/membrane life.

The Permeate Pump can easily be retrofitted to upgrade existing RO systems. The pump may eliminate the need for hydraulic shut-off valves and can be used to replace booster pumps in well water applications.
