10 Micron Carbon Pleated Cartridge Filter – 20" Big

$275.00

The 10 Micron Carbon Pleated Cartridge Filter – 20" Big is a high-capacity dual-action water filter cartridge designed for standard 20" Big Blue filter housings. It combines mechanical sediment filtration with activated carbon treatment to reduce chlorine, improve taste and odour, and remove medium-sized suspended particles while maintaining high flow rates. Ideal for whole house, rainwater, bore water, and light commercial filtration systems.

    • Combines sediment filtration with activated carbon treatment

    • High dirt-holding capacity with pleated media

    • High flow rate with low pressure drop

    • Reduces:

      • Dirt, sand, and sediment

      • Chlorine

      • Unpleasant taste and odour

      • Basic organic contaminants

    • Suitable for rainwater, mains water, and bore water systems

    • Designed for consistent high-flow performance

    • Whole house water filtration systems

    • Rainwater tank filtration

    • Bore water filtration

    • Mains water treatment

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

    • Homes experiencing chlorine taste or odour issues

    • Light commercial water treatment systems

    • Micron Rating: 10 micron (nominal)

    • Size: 20" Big Blue (4.5" diameter)

    • Media: Activated carbon pleated polyester

    • Filter Type: Carbon pleated cartridge

    • Flow Rate: High flow design (system dependent)

    • Temperature Range: 4°C to 45°C

    • Typical replacement interval: Every 3–6 months (depending on water quality and usage).

    • Replace sooner if:

      • Water flow decreases noticeably.

      • Chlorine taste or odour returns.

      • The cartridge becomes heavily discoloured or clogged.

    • Activated carbon media cannot be restored by washing or rinsing. Replace the cartridge once its filtration performance declines.

    Best Used With

    • A 20 micron or 5 micron sediment pre-filter to capture coarse particles and extend cartridge life.

    • As part of a multi-stage filtration system for improved water quality and longer service life.

    Not Suitable For

    • Bacteria or virus removal.

    • Ultra-fine sediment filtration below 5 microns.

    • Heavy sediment loads without a suitable pre-filter.

    • Dissolved chemical contaminants beyond the reduction capabilities of activated carbon.
