Most RO membranes and cartridges can be interchanged regardless of brand. The one I listed above uses the Filmtec membrane which claims to have a rejection rate of 98% (Spectra Pure Ultra High Rejection membranes also claim to have 98% rejection rate).

God bless,

This is true with some caveats. IF you change the GPD rating of your membrane, you USUALLY have to change the flow restrictor as well. It's a pretty cheap part, but a vital one if you want to increase the flow rate through the membrane.
