I was wondering whether anyone had any comments, or experiences of RO filter systems for use in a microbial lab..


I wonder if you would need to backflush with sterile water, to prevent contamination from lodging itself onto the clean side of the filter, leaving a looming latent contamination problem.

It looks like the 7th stage in a 7 stage filter is a UVC anti microbe filter;
1st Stage: 5 micron high-capacity polypropylene sediment filter 
2nd Stage: GAC Carbon Filter 
3rd Stage: CTO Carbon Filter 
4th Stage: 100GPD TFC reverse osmosis membrane 
5th Stage: Total Polishing Inline Carbon 10" 
6th Stage: Alkaline Filter 
7th Stage11W UV Filter



There is also a schedule for replacing the filters, as we are going to need to be tracking that sort of stuff.


But if it was going to be a major problem, we could add a UV filter as a stage-0 filter, and then again with a stage-7 system
