10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 10" Std
10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 10" Std (Atlas Filtri)
Short Description
A washable 10 micron pleated sediment filter cartridge designed for 10" Standard Big Blue housings. It removes fine sediment such as sand, silt, and rust while maintaining high flow rates, making it ideal for whole house and pre-filtration applications.
What This Filter Does
This pleated cartridge provides mechanical sediment filtration only (no carbon media). It is designed to remove suspended particles from water, including:
Sand and grit
Rust and corrosion particles
Dirt and fine sediment
Silt and organic debris
The 10 micron rating captures fine particles while still allowing strong water flow, helping protect downstream filters and plumbing systems.
Key Benefits
Improves water clarity
Protects appliances, fixtures, and plumbing
Extends life of carbon and finer filters downstream
Washable pleated design for light reuse
Low pressure drop with high flow performance
Key Features
10 micron nominal sediment filtration
10" Standard (Std) Big Blue size
Pleated polyester media for large surface area
Washable/reusable (light rinsing only)
Designed for whole house systems
Long service life compared to standard depth filters
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 maintenance interval: 3–6 months (varies with water quality)
Clean or replace sooner if:
Water flow drops
Filter becomes visibly dirty or clogged
Sediment buildup persists after rinsing
Note: Washing extends life, but full replacement is still required over time.
Specifications
Micron Rating: 10 micron (nominal)
Size: 10" Standard (Std) Big Blue
Media: Pleated polyester sediment material
Temperature Range: 4°C – 45°C
Filter Type: Washable pleated sediment cartridge
Function: Mechanical particle removal only
Reference context: Atlas Filtri pleated sediment cartridges are designed for high-flow applications with low pressure drop and reusable surface cleaning capability.
Not Suitable For
Chlorine, taste, or odour removal
Bacteria or virus filtration
Dissolved chemical contaminants
Ultra-fine polishing (<5 micron applications)
Summary
A durable and reusable pleated sediment filter designed for 10" Standard Big Blue housings. It is best used as a first-stage filter to protect downstream filtration systems and improve overall water clarity.
For best performance, pair with a carbon filter or finer sediment stage (5 micron or below) depending on your water quality.
