10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 10" Big
10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 10" Big (Atlas Filtri)
Short Description
A washable 10 micron pleated sediment filter designed for 10" Big Blue housings. It removes fine sediment such as sand, silt, and rust while maintaining strong water flow, making it ideal as a primary whole house pre-filtration cartridge.
What This Filter Does
This pleated sediment cartridge provides mechanical filtration only (no carbon). It is designed to remove suspended particles from water, including:
Sand and grit
Rust and corrosion particles
Dirt and fine sediment
Silt and debris
At 10 microns, it captures fine particles while still allowing good flow, making it suitable for protecting downstream filters and plumbing systems.
Key Benefits
Improves water clarity
Protects appliances, taps, and plumbing
Extends life of carbon and finer filters downstream
Washable/reusable pleated design (light rinsing)
Maintains high flow with low pressure drop
Key Features
10 micron nominal sediment filtration
10" Big Blue standard size
Pleated polyester media for high surface area
Washable outer structure (reusable with light cleaning)
Low maintenance compared to depth filters
Designed for whole house systems
Common Applications
Whole house sediment pre-filtration
Rainwater tank systems
Bore and well water treatment
Pre-filtration before carbon or UV systems
Protection of plumbing and appliances
When to Replace or Clean
Typical replacement or cleaning interval: 3–6 months (varies by water quality)
Clean or replace sooner if:
Water flow drops
Filter becomes visibly clogged or discoloured
Sediment buildup is heavy after cleaning
Note: While washable, performance declines over time and full replacement is still required.
Specifications
Micron Rating: 10 micron (nominal)
Size: 10" Big Blue
Media: Pleated polyester sediment media
Temperature Range: 4°C – 45°C
Filter Type: Washable pleated sediment cartridge
Function: Mechanical particle filtration only
Reference:
Not Suitable For
Chlorine or taste/odour removal (no carbon media)
Bacteria or virus filtration
Dissolved chemical contaminants
Very fine polishing (<5 micron applications)
Summary
A durable and washable pleated sediment filter designed for whole house use. It is best used as a first-stage filter to remove fine particles and protect downstream carbon or finer micron filters.
For best system performance, pair it with a carbon filter or finer sediment stage (5 micron or below) depending on water quality.
