Filtrix exclusively uses capillary membranes, which essentially are hollow fibers with a porous wall. The wall of a capillary membrane acts as a fine sieve capable of removing waterborne particles larger than the pores. Because of the small diameter of the hollow fibers, very compact devices with large surface areas can be constructed.

Although capillary membranes have become the standard in bacteria retention in large scale drinking water production, high costs have until now prevented the entrance of this technology in Point-of-Use applications. Filtrix, however, has succeeded in developing breakthrough technology that allows for the application of membranes in POU water filters. This way bacteriological safe water is secured, even on low water pressures.
