AntOx RO Dechlorination

AntOx: protect your RO membranes from chlorine damage.

Chlorine and chloramine in RO feed water permanently damage polyamide membranes, and no cleaner can reverse it. AntOx L26 neutralizes them before they reach the membranes. Its stabilized sulfite blend is nearly odor-free, unlike generic sulfites.

How it's fed

AntOx L26 is fed continuously by chemical injection, typically downstream of media filters and ahead of the cartridge filters, so it has time to mix and react before the water reaches the membranes.

Questions

Why does chlorine damage RO membranes?

Chlorine oxidizes polyamide membranes, permanently reducing salt rejection. The damage can't be cleaned out.

Does AntOx work on chloramine?

Yes, at a higher dose than for free chlorine. We set the dose from your feed water analysis.

Why choose AntOx over generic sodium bisulfite?

AntOx L26 is stabilized, so it's nearly odorless with little off-gassing, and it contains a biostat to help prevent biological growth.
