What does the Watts UF hollow-fiber membrane do?

It is the membrane separation stage in the WQCFU-T system. Watts describes the membrane as retaining suspended particles while allowing water and dissolved minerals to pass.

How do I choose the correct replacement or configuration?

Confirm the installed system is WQCFU-T and that the Stage 3 UF membrane is required; it is not the same component as the sediment or carbon stages.
