This item DOES NOT FIT Watts Premier WP-5 RO System
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
DO NOT USE on Watts Premier WP systems.
This is review of "Dow Filmtec Residential RO Membrane". While it should work as described, DO NOT USE on Watts Premier WP systems (i.e. WP-4V, WP-4, WP-5). The WP systems are the one-piece manifold systems from Watts Premier.
This does not have the built-in Check Valve or Brine Seal inside the white plastic tube of the RO Membrane. Without this Check Valve or Brine Seal, water from the reservoir tank (when full) will back flow to the RO membrane and damage it, and waste water.
This back flow or reverse flow will happen when your reservoir tank gets full. So basically, you will be wasting water as the water trickle will not stop. When I tested it, water continued to trickle out of the reject water outlet tube even when my reservoir tank is full already (it should stop when reserve tank is full). The water coming out is at a much slower rate though, but still plenty enough to raise your water bill since the water trickle will continue 24 hours a day.

Saved $$$
This fit my Proline Plus RO system with no issues. Saved major money over what my local center was selling me the same filters for.
Works great in my home reverse osmosis
After 4 years the membrane in my RO need to be replaced (3 - 5 years, according to the manufacturer). The RO in my home was purchased at Lowe in 2002, and still working good.
I was browsing Amazon.com and I was surprised to see that they have RO membrance for about $10 less than my local home centers. After reading several reviews to make sure it fit into mine, I ordered it.
The membrane arrived a week later, I went ahead and replaced the membrane along with 3 other filters, sediment, pre carbon, and post carbon. The process took me about one hour, and I was carefull with all the tubing and fittings.
After putting everything back together, I turned on the water, and checked for leak. No leak after several weeks.
I highly recommend this membrane
