In general, reverse osmosis membranes typically have a lifespan of between 3 and 7 years, but in some cases, they may last longer or may even take less time to replace.
A diaphragm that has exceeded its useful life can cause the following problems:
1. Reduced performance: Reverse osmosis membranes that have exceeded their life may not be able to effectively remove salts and contaminants, resulting in a decline in water quality.
2. Reduce water production: The aging of the diaphragm may lead to a decrease in water flux, thereby reducing the production of fresh water.
3. Increased energy consumption: Due to degraded performance, the system may require more energy to maintain the required water quality and water production.
4. Salt permeation: The life of the reverse osmosis membrane is extended, and the efficiency of salt removal may decrease, resulting in an increase in the salt content of fresh water.
Therefore, it is important to understand and pay attention to the service life of reverse osmosis membranes in time and develop a scientific maintenance plan. Only through regular testing and replacement can we ensure the long-term stable operation of the water treatment system and provide reliable and clean water for society.
