Reverse osmosis water filter systems are worthwhile investments for filtering contaminants out of tap water, but any reverse osmosis membrane can be damaged by water containing suspended solids and colloidal materials. The Silt Density Index (SDI) is the industry measurement of this fouling problem, and our portable water test kit for SDI levels makes quick, easy on-site water testing possible for microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis systems. For optimal performance, and to ensure the long-lasting health and functionality of your reverse osmosis membranes, test the SDI before every installation. This professional kit gives you everything you need to test the SDI of your water. To test, a 0.45-micron filter is exposed to water under pressure, and filtration rates are calculated from that. In most cases, an SDI of less than 5 is considered acceptable for reverse osmosis systems. A minimum of 30 PSI water pressure is required to use this kit. Our professional kit features quick-connect in/out connections built right into the case and includes a filter holder, a pressure gauge, a pressure regulator, a ball valve, a graduated cylinder, a thermometer, tubing, filter tweezers, and ASTM SDI test instructions to guide kit use. It also includes 2 SDI test filters, but we recommend an additional filter pack as well (sold separately). For over 40 years, Applied Membranes has been an industry leader in commercial and residential water-filtration systems, introducing the most cutting-edge water-purification technology in compact, accessible systems everyone can use. Clean water is our mission, and our customer support team is happy to assist you with any questions. Our ISO 9001:2015-quality certified facility is located in California, USA. Enjoy pure water at home every day with our premium water treatment systems and accessories.
Features
- PROTECT YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM: High levels of silt and other solids in the water source you’re connecting your RO filtration system to can cause damage over time. This portable water-quality test kit includes 2 SDI filter tests to check water on-site and aid in determining pretreatment requirements.
- PRO-LEVEL ON-SITE TESTING IN 1 CASE: Our water-testing kit for water treatment and system feed water comes with everything you need to measure silt density on-site in 1 case, including two 0.45 micron filters. An SDI of less than 5 is acceptable for reverse osmosis systems.
- INSTANT TEST RESULTS: Follow the included simple step-by-step instructions to obtain immediate test results on-site without sending water to a lab for analysis. The test takes approximately 20 minutes, including setup.
- READY TO USE: This kit includes ASTM instructions for measuring silt density index to help you get accurate results. A minimum of 30 PSI water pressure is required to use this kit. We also sell Pump Assembly Kits to use with lower pressures.
- CLEAN WATER IS OUR MISSION: Applied Membranes has been bringing clean water to facilities worldwide for over 40 years. AMI Silt Density Index Testers are made in the United States in our ISO 9001:2015-quality certified facilities.
