FilmTec · 1812 Size · 100 GPD

Higher Daily Output with the FilmTec 1812-100 GPD Membrane

The FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane is a 1812-size reverse osmosis element of polyamide thin-film composite construction, chosen for homes and offices with high consumption or for lines with low mains pressure. According to the manufacturer’s data it delivers 100 gallons of product water per day, approximately 16 litres per hour, at 50 psi (3.4 bar). In the same 1812 body size, it offers a rated output one third higher than a 75 GPD element.

01Problem & Solution

A Tank That Cannot Keep Up, a Longer Wait

Problem

Consumption Has Risen, Output Has Not

When drinking and cooking water consumption rises in a busy home or office, the tank empties during the day and takes a long time to refill. On lines with low mains pressure, the water produced by the membrane already falls below its rated value; with a low-capacity element this shortfall grows even larger.

Solution

Higher Rated Output in the Same Size

The FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane offers a rated output of 100 gallons per day at 3.4 bar without changing the 1812 body size. In a suitable unit the tank fills faster; on low-pressure lines, part of the loss in output is offset by the higher rated value.

02Key Features

An Element Suited to Heavy Use

The FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane is an element made for users who want a higher daily output in standard 1812 dimensions.

100 GPD Rated Output

At a test pressure of 50 psi (3.4 bar) it delivers 100 gallons of product water per day, approximately 16 litres per hour.

Standard 1812 Body

With a length of 298 mm and a diameter of 44.5 mm it fits membrane housings with a nominal 2 inch inner diameter.

7.6 L/min Feed Limit

The maximum feed flow rate that can be supplied to the element is 2.0 gpm, i.e. 7.6 litres per minute.

Polyamide TFC Layer

The thin-film composite layer lets water through and leaves most of the dissolved salts to the concentrate.

Dry Shipping

The element is shipped dry, which makes transport and storage easier.

Cleaning Tolerance

It can be used within pH 2–11 in continuous operation and pH 1–12 for short-term cleaning.

04Applications

Where Is It Used?

The FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane is used in units with 1812 membranes where consumption is high or mains pressure is low.

05How It Works

How Does the FilmTec 1812-100 GPD Membrane Work?

FilmTec is DuPont’s reverse osmosis membrane brand; series and brand information is available on DuPont’s FilmTec page. Like other domestic membranes, the 100 GPD element works under pressure; the difference is a higher rated output in the same size.

  1. It Arrives from the Pre-Filters

    Having passed through the sediment and activated carbon filters, with its free chlorine held back, the water is directed to the membrane housing.

  2. Pressure and Flow Are Applied

    Mains pressure or the pump pushes the water into the 2 inch housing; the feed flow should stay within the 7.6 L/min limit.

  3. Separation in the Polyamide Layer

    Water molecules pass through the thin-film layer; most of the dissolved salts remain on the surface.

  4. Product Water Goes to the Tank

    The treated water collects in the central tube with a 17 mm inner diameter and is carried to the tank through the product water outlet of the housing.

  5. The Concentrate Is Discharged

    The substances held back by the membrane are sent to the drain through the waste line together with the concentrate.

06Making the Right Choice

FilmTec 1812-100 GPD Membrane or 75 GPD?

The FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane and the 75 GPD element fit the same housing; the choice depends on daily consumption, mains pressure and the unit’s equipment.

Daily Consumption

If consumption is at a standard level, 75 GPD may be enough; if the tank often runs empty during the day, 100 GPD is preferred.

Mains Pressure

The ratings are measured at 3.4 bar; on low-pressure lines output falls, and a higher rating partly offsets this loss.

System Compatibility

When moving to a higher GPD rating, the suitability of the waste water flow restrictor, pump and tank arrangement should be checked.

Feed Flow Rate

In units with a pump, the feed to the element should not exceed 7.6 L/min.

07Maintenance and Use

Maintenance Notes for High Output

Because the FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane produces more water, the pre-filters also handle more water; the maintenance schedule should be planned accordingly.

  • Change the sediment and activated carbon pre-filters on time according to how heavily the unit is used; once the carbon is saturated, chlorine reaches the membrane.
  • When putting it into service for the first time, do not use the water produced in the first hours; send this water to the drain.
  • In units with a pump, have it checked that the feed flow does not exceed 7.6 L/min.
  • Make sure the water temperature does not exceed 45 °C; do not connect the unit to a hot water line.
  • If the tank filling time becomes longer or the TDS of the product water rises, have the pre-filters checked first, then the membrane.

08Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What does the FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane do?
It is the treatment stage of a domestic reverse osmosis unit and offers a higher rated output in the standard 1812 size. As the water that has passed through the pre-filters crosses the polyamide layer, most of the dissolved salts are separated into the concentrate; the element delivers 100 gallons of product water per day at 3.4 bar.
How much water does it produce per hour and per day?
The manufacturer specifies 100 gallons per day at a test pressure of 3.4 bar; that is approximately 378 litres per day, or about 16 litres per hour. The value is measured under test conditions of 250 ppm and 25 °C and may vary by ±20% from element to element.
Can it be fitted in place of a 75 GPD membrane?
The FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane is the same size as the 75 GPD element and fits the same 2 inch housing. However, if the unit was equipped for a 75 GPD membrane, the change should not be made without checking the waste water flow restrictor and the pump for compatibility; if you are unsure, ask for technical guidance.
How much does it produce at low pressure?
The output of the FilmTec 1812-100 GPD membrane falls as pressure and water temperature drop; on lines below 3.4 bar, actual output stays below 100 GPD. A unit with a pump helps close this gap; in pump-free use, expectations should be set according to the mains pressure.
Why does the maximum feed flow rate matter?
The maximum feed flow rate that can be supplied to the element is 2.0 gpm, i.e. 7.6 L/min. This value is one of the element’s operating limits; in units with a pump, the pump and line arrangement should be checked against this limit.
Does the membrane come with a warranty?
Units, valves, pumps and tanks carry a 2-year warranty and taps a 1-year warranty. Filters, membranes, resin and salt are consumables and fall outside the warranty.
