10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 20" Big

$137.50

The 10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 20" Big is a washable pleated sediment filter cartridge designed for standard 20" Big Blue filter housings. It provides mechanical filtration to remove fine suspended particles from water while maintaining high flow rates and low pressure drop. Ideal as a primary pre-filtration stage, it helps protect downstream filters, plumbing, appliances, and water treatment systems, extending the life of the overall filtration system.

  • Replacement

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

    • Replace sooner if:

      • Water flow reduces noticeably.

      • The cartridge becomes visibly dirty or clogged.

      • Sediment buildup remains after rinsing.

    • Washing extends the usable life of the cartridge, but replacement is required once cleaning no longer restores adequate performance.

    • A 5 micron or finer sediment filter as a second-stage filter.

    • A carbon filter for chlorine, taste, and odour reduction.

    • A UV system where sediment removal is required before disinfection.

    Not Suitable For

    • Chlorine, taste, or odour removal.

    • Bacteria or virus filtration.

    • Dissolved chemical contaminants.

    • Ultra-fine filtration below 5 microns.
