$980.00
Additional variations of the PS-1000 are available:
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.
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.
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.
PS-1000 Installation Instructions
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.

---|---|---|---|---|
Easy, turn-to-flush (clean) membrane? | Yes - Save time and money by not having to keep buying expensive replacement filters or membranes you can’t flush | No - When filters plug there will be a drop in water pressure. Having to buy new filters will occur more often if you have lots of contaminants in your water | No | No |
Removes bacteria, pathogens, and other contaminants | Yes - Up to 99.9999% of bacteria | Yes | No - It kills bacteria and pathogens but doesn't remove them from the water | No - It kills bacteria and pathogens but doesn't remove them from the water |
Environmentally friendly | Yes - Doesn't require electricity, and has no waste water | No - It wastes 3-25 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of RO water | No - Uses lots of energy | No - Uses lots of energy |
