    The Vibro-I is intended to filter media and can only be used with Vibro-I Cartridges from SANI Membranes. The Vibro-I must only be used together with a feed system with a built-in safety to protect the Vibro-I against over-pressure. If the feed system is able to deliver over-pressure, a CE approved safety valve set to the applicable maximum operating pressure of the Vibro-I system must be included before the Vibro-I inlet.
