Pentek Gro Series High-Efficiency Encapsulated Reverse Osmosis Membrane | Pentair
The Pentek GRO Series is a high-efficiency, encapsulated reverse osmosis membrane engineered for Pentair FreshPoint undersink RO systems. Built around TLC (Thin Layer Composite) membrane technology with a 100% dry membrane core, the GRO Series maximizes shelf life while delivering high rejection stability - even at elevated input TDS levels.
What sets the GRO Series apart is its double-the-recovery design: it achieves a 1:1 purified-to-wastewater ratio, roughly twice the efficiency of standard RO membranes, significantly reducing water waste while maintaining rejection performance comparable to conventional elements. Each membrane includes a built-in permeate check valve and matched drain line flow control for streamlined installation and correct system pressure - critical since drain line flow restrictors must match the membrane's capacity rating for proper RO system performance.
The GRO Series is NSF International tested and certified, and its encapsulated, retrofit-friendly design makes replacement straightforward in compatible FreshPoint systems.
