Low Energy Brackish Water RO Elements - AK8040F-400 #3039161

The AK-Series Low Pressure Brackish Water Elements are selected when high rejection and low operating pressures are desired. These elements allow significant energy savings since good rejection is achieved at operating pressures as low as 100 psi (689 kPa).
