      • Water pressure decreases.

      • Flow rate reduces noticeably.

      • The cartridge becomes heavily clogged with sediment.

    • The cartridge may be lightly rinsed and reused where suitable, but performance will gradually decline and replacement will eventually be required.

    Best Used With

    • A 5 micron sediment pre-filter in areas with heavy sediment loads to extend cartridge life.

    • A carbon filter cartridge after the sediment stage for chlorine, taste, and odour reduction.

    Not Suitable For

    • Chlorine, taste, or odour removal.

    • Dissolved chemical contaminant removal.

    • Bacteria or virus filtration.

    • Heavy sediment conditions without a suitable coarse pre-filter.
