Home RO
DOW FILMTEC reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for home drinking water treatment units are among the most reliable and consistent elements in the industry. Advanced membrane technology and automated fabrication allow Dow to precisely produce each and every element to tight, pre-defined specifications. Dow’s advanced and consistent RO element quality helps customers deliver systems that reliably provide low impurity drinking water. DOW FILMTEC™ elements are shipped dry for convenient handling and long shelf-life.
Benefits of DOW FILMTEC Tap Water RO Membrane Elements
- Reverse Osmosis removes up to 99% of total dissolved solids.
- High flux results in greater yield (more water)
- Shipped dry for long shelf life
- FilmTec performance and quality

- TW30-1812-50HR replaces TW30-1812-50 which has been disonctinued by the manufacturer. TW30-1812-50HR offers higher rejection (99%) than the retired TW30-1812-150 (98%).
- BW60-1812-75 replaces TW30-1812-75, offering higher rejection as well as longer life in high hardness applications.
- TW30-1812-100HR replaces TW30-1812-100 which has been disonctinued by the manufacturer. TW30-1812-100HR offers higher rejection (98% min) than the retired TW30-1812-100.
- TW30-3012-500 uses 3"x12" membrane housing (part number PV3012C) and does not fit standard residential housings.
- Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following test conditions: 250 ppm softened tap water, 77°F (25°C), 15% recovery and the specified applied pressure.
- Minimum salt rejection is 96.0% (BW60-1812-75 minimum is 97.0%)
- Permeate flows for individual elements may vary +/-20%.
- Product specifications may vary slightly as improvements are implemented.
- For ease of installation, element O-rings have been pre-lubricated with glycerin.
