Any here used a Vyair XLE 4040 Membrane?
Good or bad?

[Smudger]

Not bad - it worked better than some I've brought but for the best one is this

I've tried Axeon and Spectrum membranes.
The Spectrum i have at the moment is on it's way out after 11 months, not impressed.
In honesty i do run them on a tight ratio as im on a water meter.
So im going for a cheapie this time round, just to satisfy my curiosity for how it performs and for how long.

Cant remember which post it was on but someone posted last week of 4040 membrane s for £150 ish

[Smudger]

Be careful there was a guy on eBay flogging membrains for about £160  - they were cr@p as it couldn't get my tds below 18

I bought a cheap Chinese one off eBay and it’s been brilliant. My input TDS is roughly 350-400 and it produces at 007, my previous Axeon HF4 would produce 010 when it was new.

I've taken a punt and bought the Vyair so will see how it goes.

I use this one

It takes my tds of 308-310 down to 007 that Im happy enough with given its price.

It was SB Cleaning, he bought his off eBay. Have a look at the threads asking about the grant.

As anyone tried soaking their membranes in descaler in order to be able to reue them.  I saw a thread ages ago and I can't seem to find it.  I need to buy some new 40/40 and would like to soak my old ones.  I get mine shipped from Belguim.  www.aqua-com.eu  €200 each and the best quality i have come across.

[Smudger]

Yes I have done it and it works - I leave the membrane in soak over the weekend

unfortunately the effects are short lived as the TDS creeps up over a period of 4 weeks ( I produce between 1200 and 1600 litres of pure per day ) I did it 3 times before deciding to just get a new one

Thanks for that.
That's one company i hadn't considered.
Prices seem very reasonable.
