Replacement Reverse Osmosis RO Membranes

At a certain point, you'll need a replacement RO membrane for your reverse osmosis water filter. These don't last forever, and eventually, they don't filter out contaminants as well as they once did. But, it can be confusing trying to figure out which one of these is right for your specific filter. And how long do RO membranes last? We'll answer all this and more.

What is an RO membrane?

The RO membrane is the actual "filter" in your reverse osmosis system. It's a semipermeable membrane that picks and chooses what can pass through, similar to a gatekeeper. It keeps the bad stuff out, while letting the water flow through.

When should I replace the RO membrane?

There is no real blanket statement for how long an RO membrane will last, or when you should replace it. It ultimately comes down to how hard you are making your filter work. If your feed source is super contaminated, your membranes will need to be replaced faster. You also need to consider how much water you're filtering. If you only need to filter 5-10 gallons a day, your filter will last way longer than someone filtering 100+ gallons a day at a commercial facility.

Assuming you aren't trying to filter something seriously contaminated, your membrane should be replaced every 2-3 years.

Which replacement reverse osmosis membrane do I need?

When replacing your reverse osmosis membrane, you need to stick with the same brand. So if you have a GrowoniX filter, get a GrowoniX membrane.
