10 Micron Carbon Pleated Cartridge Filter 20" Std

10 Micron Carbon Pleated Cartridge Filter – 20" Std (Atlas Filtri)

Short Description

A 10 micron carbon pleated water filter cartridge designed for 20" Standard Big Blue housings. It combines sediment and activated carbon filtration to reduce chlorine, improve taste and odour, and remove medium-sized particles in whole house and rainwater systems.

What This Filter Does

This dual-layer pleated cartridge combines mechanical sediment filtration with activated carbon treatment to improve water quality by reducing:

• Dirt, sand, and sediment

• Chlorine

• Unpleasant taste and odour

• Basic organic contaminants

The 10 micron rating captures medium-sized particles while maintaining strong flow performance, making it suitable for residential and light commercial filtration systems.

Key Benefits

• Improves drinking and household water taste

• Reduces chlorine, odours, and organic compounds

• Protects plumbing and appliances from sediment build-up

• High surface area pleated design for longer life

• Stable flow rate with low pressure drop

Key Features

• 10 micron nominal filtration

• 20" Standard (Std) Big Blue size

• Pleated activated carbon + polyester media

• High dirt-holding capacity

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

• Designed for consistent flow and low maintenance

Common Applications

• Whole house filtration systems

• Rainwater tank treatment

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

• Homes with chlorine taste or odour issues

• Light commercial water treatment systems

When to Replace

Typical replacement interval: 3–6 months

Replace sooner if:

• Water flow decreases

• Chlorine taste or odour returns

• Cartridge becomes heavily discoloured or clogged

Note: Carbon media cannot be restored by rinsing or washing.

Summary

A combined sediment and carbon pleated cartridge designed for 20" Standard Big Blue housings. It improves water taste, reduces chlorine, and provides reliable medium-level filtration for whole house systems.

Best results are achieved when used in a multi-stage system with a sediment pre-filter (5–20 micron) to extend cartridge life.
