10 Micron Carbon Pleated Cartridge Filter 10" Big

10 Micron Carbon Pleated Water Filter Cartridge – 10 Inch Big

Short Description

This 10 micron carbon pleated water filter cartridge reduces sediment, chlorine, and bad tastes in your water. It’s designed for 10" Big Blue systems and is ideal for whole house filtration in Australia.

What This Filter Does

This filter combines sediment filtration with carbon treatment to remove:

• Dirt and sediment

• Chlorine

• Bad tastes and odours

• Organic contaminants (basic level)

At 10 microns, it captures medium-sized particles while allowing strong water flow. The carbon media helps improve water quality by reducing chlorine and smell.

This helps:

• Improve water taste and smell

• Protect plumbing and appliances

• Enhance overall water quality throughout the home

Key Features

• 10 micron rating (medium sediment filtration)

• 10" Big Blue size

• Pleated design for higher flow and dirt holding capacity

• Carbon-impregnated filter media

• Reduces chlorine, taste, and odour

• Washable outer layer (light rinsing)

• Suitable for whole house use

Common Uses

• Whole house water filtration systems

• Rainwater and mains water treatment

• Pre- or post-filtration in multi-stage systems

• Homes with chlorine taste or odour issues

When Should You Replace It?

• Typically every 3–6 months

• Replace sooner if:

  • Chlorine taste or odour returns

  • Water flow drops

  • Filter appears heavily discoloured

Note: Carbon media cannot be fully restored by washing, so replacement is necessary.

Is This the Right Filter for You?

Good for:

• Reducing chlorine and improving taste

• General-purpose filtration in homes

• Moderate sediment levels

Not ideal for:

• Very fine sediment removal (use 1–5 micron filter)

• Heavy sediment loads (use a pre-filter first)

• Removing bacteria or dissolved chemicals

Summary

This is a combined sediment and carbon filter that improves water clarity, taste, and odour. It’s ideal for whole house systems where both sediment and chlorine reduction are needed.

• Fits standard 10 inch Big Blue filter housings

• Helps reduce chlorine and improve taste

• Works well as part of a multi-stage filtration setup

Tip: For best results, pair with a 5 micron sediment pre-filter to extend the life of the carbon media.
