Ultrafiltration Membrane Filter System – Outstanding whole house and well water filter system with superior bacteria removal and long-lasting membrane you can flush (clean).

The Premiere PS-1000 uses powerful membrane water purification technology to deliver ultrafiltration (UF). It is an excellent well water filter system because it has outstanding contaminant and bacteria removal rates (over 99.99%). There is zero waste water, and it does not require a storage tank or electricity to operate. The Premiere PS-1000  features innovative technology which lets you flush (clean) the membrane whenever it gets full of contaminants. Don’t keep buying expensive replacement filters or membranes you can’t flush. The long-lasting membrane means you are spending less time and money changing water filters. This ultrafiltration membrane filter system is also great for other applications including whole house, food service, commercial, and much more.

Premiere PS-1000 Ultrafiltration Membrane Filter (Well Water Filter System) Features and Benefits

Extremely long membrane life (up to 5 years!) – it’s easy to flush (clean) the membrane

• Breakthrough system lets you easily flush (clean) the membrane of collected contaminants
• Don’t keep buying expensive replacement filters or membranes you can’t flush – the Premiere PS-1000 is truly revolutionary in this sense!
• Membrane should be back-flushed on a regular basis to ensure longest membrane life (3-5 years)
• To flush the membrane, simply turn the valve and leave open for up to 15 seconds to fully flush the membrane. (A small amount of water will go to drain while the valve is open)
• Save time and money by replacing filters significantly less often without any drop in water quality
• The membrane-housing is efficiently designed to provide easy backflushing. (When a membrane undergoes a backward flush, it’s pores are flushed inside out to clean it of contaminants)

Safe, healthy water delivered to all the taps in your home 24-hours a day

• Membrane filter delivers 0.02 sub micron filtration – removes contaminants as small as 0.02 micron absolute including bacteria, cysts, viruses, silt, colloids, silica, clay, iron, sand, and some dissolved solids.
• Removes bacteria (over 99.9999%), viruses (over 99.99%), and giardia & cryptosporidium (over 99.95%) from your drinking water
• More than 5-log reduction of bacteria, cysts, viruses, and turbidity. (In other words, bacteria, cysts, viruses, and turbidity have been reduced 100,000-fold)
• Also eliminates colloidal materials, sand, silt, silica, sediment, and other relatively high molecular weight organic material
• The membrane also removes particulate lead. (Please see our PS-2000PB to reduce soluble and particulate lead).
• Ultrafiltration can remove tannins in water too. However, if you have both iron and tannins present in your water, you will need a separate, adequate pre-treatment filter system to remove the iron. Water with both tannins and iron is a tricky combination that the PS-1000 and our other ultrafiltration systems cannot handle on their own. If you have both iron and tannins in your water, please contact us before purchasing a system.

Constant product quality regardless the quality of the incoming water

• Continuous, high flow 8 gallon per minute flow rate
• If there is an influx of contaminants in the incoming water, the PS-1000 will still deliver a consistent, high quality of water no matter how bad the incoming water is

Environmentally friendly technology

• No chemicals used
• Zero waste water during the ultrafiltration process
• Breakthrough well water filter system easily takes the place of outdated reverse osmosis (RO) and ultra-violet (UV) systems
• No storage tank or electricity required to operate this system

This system is for a variety of water filtration applications

• In addition to being a well water filter system, the Premiere PS-1000 can be used in a variety of applications including:
  • Whole house
  • Food service beverages & ice
  • Convenience store beverages & ice
  • Beverage process filtration
  • Schools
  • Hospitals
  • Hotels
  • Beer brewing
  • and much more

What is ultrafiltration?

Ultrafiltration is a type of membrane filtration which purifies and disinfects water. A membrane barrier acts like a filter using slight pressure to separate particles like bacteria, viruses, germs, pollen, algae, and organic molecules from the water. Ultrafiltration is ideal for well water.

Benefits of ultrafiltration:

• No chemicals required
• Environmentally friendly technology
• Constant product quality no matter the feed quality
• Exceeds regulatory standards of water quality- has over 99.9% bacteria and pathogen removal
• A membrane filter lasts much longer than a conventional filter (years versus months)

PS-1000 Maintenance

The ultrafiltration membrane should be flushed on a regular basis to ensure longest membrane life. To flush the membrane, simply turn the valve and leave open for up to 15 seconds to fully flush the membrane. A small amount of water will go to drain while the valve is open.

How often you flush the membrane will depend on your water conditions. The ultrafiltration membrane should be flushed at least once per month, and some users may find they need to flush it a few times a month, weekly, or even daily.

In general, you will know it is time to flush the membrane when there is noticeable a drop in water pressure (but your incoming water pressure has not changed).

The ultrafiltration membrane (PS-1000RC) should be replaced once every 3 – 5 years.

Attention: Does your water have chemicals, lead, iron and tannins, and/or lots of particulates?

If your incoming water has high amounts of particulates (sand, sediment, silt, silica, iron, sulphur, or other minerals or metals), you should consider a sediment pre-filter for your water. Our PS-2000S ($1,195) is a two stage ultrafiltration system with the PS-1000 membrane and a sediment pre-filter too. A sediment water filter removes suspended particles in your water that can clog up the ultrafiltration membrane and shorten the life-span of the purifier.

If your incoming water has chemicals (benzene, chlorine, chloramine, trihalomethanes, volatile organic compounds, methane tertiary butyl ether, pesticides, radon), you should consider a carbon post-filter. Our PS-2000C ($1,220) is a two-stage ultrafiltration system with the PS-1000 membrane and a carbon post-filter too. The coconut shell carbon filters adsorbs harmful contaminants and improve the appearance and taste of drinking water.

If you incoming water has both iron and tannins, it’s a tricky contaminant combination that the PS-1000 and our other ultrafiltration systems will not be able to handle on their own. You will need a separate pre-treatment filter system to remove the iron. If you have both iron and tannins in your water, please contact us before purchasing a system.

If your incoming water has lead, you should consider our PS-2000PB. While the PS-1000 does remove particulate lead, it does not reduce or remove soluble lead such as lead that has leached into water from pipes and fixtures. Our PS-2000PB ($1,370) is a two-stage ultrafiltration system with the PS-1000 membrane and a carbon post-filter that tackles particulate AND soluble lead too. 

Please contact us if you have any questions about your water.
