Beyond Guidelines - Statutory Water Purity in 2026
In the UK, the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) currently maintain a non-binding guideline of 100ng/L (0.1µg/L) for the sum of 48 PFAS compounds. While "acceptable" under current local guidance, this tiered approach is increasingly out of step with global statutory realities.
2026 UK PFAS Compliance Snapshot:
Under the 2026 UK PFAS National Plan, any detection of an individual PFAS compound above 10 ng/L now triggers a mandatory Tier 1 investigation. While not yet a ban, it marks the first step toward the statutory enforcement already seen in neighbouring markets.
This trend toward hard enforcement is already clear in the EU. Contrast the UK's investigatory triggers with the EU's statutory mandate of 100 ng/L for the sum of 20 PFAS. More critically, high-risk compounds like PFOA and PFOS face a stringent statutory limit of 20 ng/L by 2028. For breweries and laboratories, the risk isn't just regulatory—it's reputational.

Why Reverse Osmosis is the BAT for 2026 REACH Compliance
The term "Best Available Technology" (BAT) is a regulatory designation for the most effective method of preventing or minimizing emissions and environmental impact. For the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), Reverse Osmosis (RO) has emerged as the definitive BAT over traditional Granular Activated Carbon (GAC).
While GAC can be effective for long-chain PFAS, its efficiency often drops when faced with short-chain "forever chemicals" which can "break through" carbon filters relatively quickly. In contrast, Reverse Osmosis acts as a physical, molecular-level barrier. By utilizing membranes with 0.0001-micron pores, RO doesn't just "trap" chemicals—it physically rejects them, ensuring your facility stays well below the 10 ng/L Tier 1 investigatory trigger and remains future-proof against the stricter statutory limits coming in 2027 and 2028.
Commercial Precision: The Ecosoft MO Series & Grundfos Integration
Achieving a 99.8% PFAS rejection rate requires more than just a membrane; it requires precise, high-pressure stability to overcome the osmotic resistance of "forever chemicals."
The Grundfos Advantage:
To drive water through 0.0001-micron pores at scale, our Ecosoft MO series utilizes high-performance Grundfos multistage pumps. From the compact MO6500 (featuring the CM 1-10) to the high-capacity MO30000 (leveraging the commercial-grade Grundfos CR 3-15), these systems maintain a consistent operating pressure of 8–12 bar.
This Commercial Precision ensures that laboratories, breweries, and food production facilities don't just "meet" the DWI guidelines—they stay ahead of them. With automated Ecosoft OC5000/OC6000 controllers monitoring permeate quality in real-time, you gain the Compliance Assurance needed to protect both your operations and your reputation.
The MO Range: Commercial PFAS Solutions
Ecosoft MO5000: Compact Compliance for Small Businesses
Ideal for smaller commercial laboratories or specialised food prep areas, the MO5000 delivers up to 250L/h of purified permeate. Powered by the whisper-quiet Grundfos CM 1-10 pump, this compact unit provides the stable pressure required for 0.0001-micron filtration, ensuring your output remains well below the DWI's 10 ng/L investigatory threshold.
Ecosoft MO6500: The Professional Choice for Mid-Sized Operations
The MO6500 is a versatile solution for mid-sized breweries and healthcare facilities, producing 6,500 liters per day (250L/h). Utilizing the same Grundfos CM 1-10 platform, it balances energy efficiency with the hydraulic muscle needed for 99.8% PFAS rejection, making it a cornerstone for Compliance Assurance.
Ecosoft MO10000: High-Efficiency Permeate for High-Demand Labs
Stepping up to 500 L/h, the MO10000 is engineered for high-demand commercial environments. Its refined membrane configuration and Grundfos multistage pump ensure consistent permeate quality, future-proofing your facility against statutory limits while maintaining a footprint optimized for urban commercial spaces.
Ecosoft MO12000: Robust Performance for Commercial Facilities
The MO12000 introduces a higher recovery rate for larger hospitality and production sites. With a capacity of 12,000 liters per day (500L/h) and the reliable Grundfos CM 1-10 (or CRN series for high-TDS), this unit provides the commercial precision required for businesses concerned about REACH 2026 compliance.
Ecosoft MO20000: The Performance Anchor for Regional Production
Producing up to 1,000 L/h, the MO20000 uses the industrial-grade Grundfos CR 3-15 pump to anchor large regional facilities. This high-capacity unit ensures that even under peak demand, your water meets the most stringent international 20 ng/L PFAS standards.
Ecosoft MO30000: Premier Capacity for Commercial Scaling
As your operations scale, the MO30000 provides a staggering 1,500 L/h permeate flow. Powered by the Grundfos CR 3-15, it maintains the 8–12 bar pressure stability required for molecular-level contaminant rejection across 6 high-performance membranes.
Ecosoft MO36000: The Ultimate Commercial Compliance Flagship
The MO36000 stands as the flagship of our commercial line, engineered for high-demand environments where consistent, high-volume purity is paramount. This unit leverages the maximum performance of the Grundfos CM 3-14 pump and the complete automation of the OC5000 controller to provide up to 1,600 L/h of permeate. It is the definitive "peace of mind" solution for commercial scaling in the 2026 regulatory environment.
