What is the TDS PPM for these filters?
2052304
IT comes with a Reduce filter but fits a Pur or Brita, so the TDS PPM would be the same as those.

I just tested it with my meter and with a Brita filter in it ....The TDS....it came out 77PPM

Purchase a TDS meter for under $15. Test the water coming out of your untreated tap. Test the water coming out of the new Ro filter. When the treated number drops 20% of it's original number, time to change the membrane. IE: New=100% efficiency, at 80% it's time to change.

Dunno. Don't have one. This is not a great filter....returned due to scratches right out of the box...

I don't know. I would think the picture of the box would be the most accurate and the other number may be an error in the typing. Might look at 3M Filtrete web page and see if there are two different products. Sorry I cannot be of help. My order also says 3US-PFO1. Not sure what I received but it works in my equipment.

I just looked at mine and it shows "B+W 58 010 UV - Haze 1x MRC". Not sure if you can specify the exact one you want in this listing. The manufacturers website is at: https://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=630&IID;=5722B&H; Photo says the filter factor is 1.0.

it is my opinion that your R/O membrane is not working properly. I have only used Watts (Phoenix) filters in the past, and when my system was new, it reduced TDS by 92% or more. After many years, I replaced the membrane with a new 75GPD filter, and my rejection ration was 94%. I expect this new filter to last at least 10 years, but it cost $115.00. It would appear to me you got what you paid for, and the results seem to be very poor.

From what I know these filters are fairly standard in terms of filtration area. I've used several brands and this one is the same as the others and I also have a hayward filtration system.

Theresa, They are used on whats called D.E fIlters or Dieatamasus Earth. It's a fine white sandy type material. The side of your filter will give you this information. Good Luck let me know if you have other questions

The TDS of my tap water is 430ppm; all those minerals would surely shorten the lifespan and effectiveness of this unit. Hence I use RO water [I have a unit which I normally use for my aquariums] which has a TDS of below 10ppm. You can buy distilled water although not sure how costly that is in the longrun.

The Digital-Aid Water Purity Test Meter from Simply Natural Life is convenient, well-packaged, and priced right. It supplies a choice of TDS of Conductivity at the press of a SHIFT button, and also temperature in either degrees F of C. The instrument uses the temperature measurement to help accurately calculate TDS and Conductivity. I tested accuracy using my citt water and mt R-O water. Today, city water measures 335 ppm TDS, and the R-O reads 23. My city specifies TDS as "less than 500 ppm," and the R-O reading shows that my 5-year-old membrane is still working.

On their website it says; "Q. Does the ZeroWater filter remove Fluoride? A. ZeroWater filters are not certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound. The TDS meter is designed to detect inorganic compounds. Fluoride levels in water are usually around 2 to 4 ppm, which will show up on the meter as 002 to 004. So when filtered water reads 000 it is not likely that fluoride is present in water." So basically if the water meter reads zero there would not any measurable amount of fluoride in the water.

Yes. To be sure, go to Doulton's web site and check each filters specifications.

The current filter we are looking at is Merv 11. For higher Merv value, you probably need to look for Merv and FC100A through search engine. Thanks.

Sorry...Check on the description or look up your model number for matching filters.

Haven't the slightest idea. Take other people's advice at your own risk.Use what is recommended OR call them. When my filter holder broke they were very helpful.
