CSM RE-1812 Series Residential
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes
replacement reverse osmosis membrane elements for home drinking water systems
The performance of reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water systems is directly related to the quality of the RO membrane installed in the system. CSM RE-1812 series reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are both economical and effective, made by one of the top names in the industry.
These thin-film composite (TFC) membranes have a minimum salt rejection rate of 96% (98% expected) based on a 200 mg/l(ppm) NaCl solution at 60 psi applied pressure and 15% recovery.
- very econmical, brand-name membrane
- far higher rejection rates, greater durability and life as compared to cellulose (CTA) membranes
- high pH range tolerance
- shipped dry for convenient handling and long shelf-life
- NSF/ANSI Standard 58 listed
- best price guarantee
CSM RE1812 Series residential RO membrane elements fit most standard nominal 2-inch I.D. pressure vessels. Accordingly, they will fit in most residential RO membrane housings, regardless of brand! Be sure to match capacities, not just physical size to ensure proper performance. Compare measurements below to confirm.

*Maximum temperature for continuous operation above pH 10 is 95F (35C). **Under certain conditions, the presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents will cause premature membrane failure. Since oxidation damage is not covered under warranty, we recommend removing residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure. Most RO systems have carbon pre-filters for this purpose. |
Important note about selecting the correct membrane capacity: All RO systems use a drain line flow restrictor to create pressure against the RO membrane. This pressure is critical to the performance of the RO system. If the drain line flow restrictor is not correctly matched to the capacity rating of the membrane, problems such as slow or ceased water production or high water waste can result. Select a replacement membrane that matches the capacity rating of your existing membrane and system. If you want to upgrade to a higher capacity membrane to increase the rate and quantity of daily water production, it is critical that you upgrade both the membrane AND the drain line flow restictor.
