General description

Polyphosphate for anti-scaling protection. Silver-impregnated activated carbon for free chlorine reduction and bacteriostatic protection.
The Progard® TS2 Pretreatment Pack is designed to pretreat tap water prior to purification by reverse osmosis (RO). Tap water is pretreated by effectively removing contaminants such as free chlorine, large particles and colloids, organic compounds and hardness. This protects the RO membrane from organic fouling, chlorine oxidation and mineral scaling. It also increases the lifetime of the water purification system and optimizes its performance.

Application

Purified water produced using Milli-Q®, AFS®, RiOs™, and Elix® water purification systems equipped with the Progard® TS2 pretreatment pack is used for various laboratory applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Protects RO membrane against mineral scaling, organic fouling and chlorine oxidation.
  • Polyphosphates provide protection against scaling.
  • Silver-impregnated activated carbon reduces free chlorine and prevents bacteria proliferation.
  • Depth-filtration removes particles and colloids.
  • e-Sure RFID tag ensures full traceability and provides instant visibility of pack parameters.
  • Replace every 6 months for optimal results.

    Works well

    The system works well producing type three water but the Progard ts2 pack needs replacement after only four months service ( 100L produced) this seems a bit short.

    Expensive and often faulty

    This is the second time in three years (~6 packs), that the article is defect and needs to be replaced.
