Water filtration systems play a critical role in ensuring that tap water is free from contaminants and other impurities that can impact health. Naltex diamond nettings, which are produced by German water filtration solutions provider Gessner, are used as feed spacers for spiral wound water filtration membrane elements for reverse osmosis, nano, ultra, and micro filtration.

Naltex feed spacers are specifically designed to optimise the hydraulic conditions of the feed water by creating turbulence on the membrane surface which reduces fouling and pressure losses through the membrane element, Gessner said in a press release.

The specially crafted spacers are made by a strong yet flexible plastic mesh that provides superior hydraulic flow capability which improves the flux of the membrane. In addition, their unique design helps to evenly disperse the feed water across the filter surface, providing optimal contact time with the filter media and improving overall filter performance.

Naltex feed spacer technologies can improve the efficiency of the water filtration system by increasing the flux of each membrane element while also extending the life and robustness of a membrane element by reducing fouling on the membrane surface contributing to less cleaning and maintenance downtime.

Naltex diamond nettings are made of FDA approved materials, offering superior strength and flexibility. Additionally, all Naltex products are tested to ensure they meet strict standards for lead, chlorine, and other contaminants commonly found in drinking water. With regular cleaning and maintenance, these diamond nettings can extend the life of one’s water filter.
