2540 RO Membrane

SpiroPure membranes from All Filters are an excellent choice for smaller commercial systems and other RO applications. Brackish water options like the BW2540 help provide high-performance treatment of TDS. For high-salinity applications, the SW2540 seawater desalination provides high rejection of salt for the treatment of seawater and other demanding desalination needs.

Finding the Ideal RO Membrane

All Filters makes it easy to identify compatible products using our specifications and cross-reference charts. Simply follow this guide to find a compatible filter.

Specifications Chart

If you know the product details of your 2.5” x 40” RO membrane, you can use the specifications chart. The specifications chart lists the main performance details of brackish and seawater desalination membranes. This information includes measurements like rejection rate, average permeate, and salinity level.

Brackish water membranes use less pressure and energy to purify water with moderate salt levels, like river or well water. On the other hand, seawater desalination membranes can handle high salt concentrations that are found in ocean water, as they use high pressure and provide superior salt rejection. The 2.5" x 40" membrane is one of the most popular sizes for onboard watermakers on sailboats and yachts.

Cross-Reference Chart

If you know the brand and model of your current 2540 RO membrane, you can use the cross-reference chart to find the corresponding SpiroPure replacement.

Simply find the 2.5” x 40” membrane type in the chart, whether it’s seawater desalination or brackish water. Then, compare your branded model to the SpiroPure equivalent in the same row.

FAQs on 2540 RO Membrane

What is a 2540 RO membrane used for?

The 2540 (2.5" x 40") is used to reduce 98–99.5% of total dissolved solids for small-to-medium sized commercial RO systems requiring moderate output, such as restaurants, marine vessels, car washes, indoor agriculture, and some industrial applications. SpiroPure offers 2540 membranes in brackish water and seawater desalination types to match different source water and salinity conditions.
Use the cross-reference chart on this page to find a SpiroPure 2540 equivalent for your current OEM model. Your system's construction, operating specs, and water conditions determine the right commercial ro membrane for your system, and many of them are not interchangeable.
Replace sediment and carbon prefilters on schedule to protect the membrane from fouling and chlorine damage. Monitor permeate flow and salt rejection regularly. A meaningful decline in either indicates cleaning or replacement may be needed. Flush the system during short shutdown periods to prevent biological growth on membrane surfaces. Store in a solution of 1% food-grade Sodium Metabisulfite (SMBS) solution for up to 3–6 months in a cool place and do not freeze.
Under normal operating conditions with proper pretreatment, SpiroPure 2540 membranes typically last two to five years. Higher-TDS feed water, inconsistent prefilter maintenance, or operating above rated pressure will shorten service life.
No. brackish water and seawater membranes are distinct products engineered for different salinity and pressure ranges. Seawater membranes operate at much higher pressures and are designed for high NaCl rejection. Using a brackish water membrane on seawater feed will result in poor salt rejection and premature failure.
