Frequently Asked Questions: BW30XHR-440 vs. BW30XHR PRO-440
What happened to the FilmTec BW30XHR-440?
DuPont moved the BW30XHR-440 onto its current PRO manufacturing platform as the BW30XHR PRO-440. It is the same extra-high-rejection element position in the portfolio, made on the newer line.
What is the difference between the BW30XHR-440 and the BW30XHR PRO-440?
The rated performance is unchanged — both are specified at 12,650 GPD with 99.8% stabilized / 99.6% minimum rejection (2,000 ppm NaCl, 225 psi, 77 °F, pH 8). What changes is the manufacturing platform: the PRO series is built on DuPont's current precision automated fabrication line for tighter element-to-element consistency.
What is the same on both elements?
440 ft² (41 m²) active area, 28-mil feed spacer, identical rated flow and rejection, polyamide TFC chemistry, 8″ × 40″ form factor.
Can I replace my BW30XHR-440 with a BW30XHR PRO-440 without changing my system?
Yes — standard 8″ × 40″ element (1.125″ permeate tube), fits any standard 8-inch pressure vessel, 600 psig maximum operating pressure. No system modifications required.
Which applications is it designed for?
Large brackish-water systems needing the highest permeate quality: second-pass desalination, industrial utility water, and municipal systems with strict water-quality targets.
