10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 20" Big
10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 20" Big (Atlas Filtri)
Short Description
A washable 10 micron pleated sediment filter cartridge designed for 20" Big Blue housings. It removes fine particles such as sand, silt, and rust while maintaining high flow and low pressure drop, making it ideal for whole house and pre-filtration systems.
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 throughout the home
Protects appliances, taps, and plumbing from sediment damage
Extends life of carbon and finer filtration stages
Washable pleated design for reuse (light rinsing)
High flow performance with low pressure drop
Key Features
10 micron nominal sediment filtration
20" Big Blue standard size
Pleated polyester media for large surface area
Washable/reusable cartridge (surface cleaning only)
Suitable for domestic, commercial, and industrial systems
Designed for consistent high-flow operation
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 (depends on water quality)
Clean or replace sooner if:
Water flow reduces
Filter becomes visibly dirty or clogged
Sediment buildup remains after rinsing
Note: Washing extends usable life, but the cartridge will eventually require replacement.
Specifications
Micron Rating: 10 micron (nominal)
Size: 20" Big Blue
Media: Pleated polyester sediment material
Temperature Range: 4°C – 45°C
Filter Type: Washable pleated sediment cartridge
Function: Mechanical particle removal only
Not Suitable For
Chlorine, taste, or odour removal
Bacteria or virus filtration
Dissolved chemical contaminants
Ultra-fine polishing (<5 micron applications)
Summary
A durable, washable pleated sediment filter designed for 20" Big Blue housings. It is best used as a primary filtration stage to remove fine sediment and protect downstream carbon or advanced filtration systems.
For best performance, pair with a carbon filter or finer sediment stage (5 micron or below) depending on water quality.
