10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 20" Std
10 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 20" Std (Atlas Filtri)
Short Description
A washable 10 micron pleated sediment filter cartridge designed for 20" Standard housings. It removes fine sediment such as sand, silt, and rust while maintaining high flow, 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 removes suspended particles from water, including:
Sand and grit
Rust and corrosion particles
Dirt and fine sediment
Silt and debris
The 10 micron rating captures fine particles while allowing strong water flow, helping protect downstream filters, plumbing, and appliances. Pleated filters are designed with a large surface area for high flow and low pressure drop.
Key Benefits
Improves water clarity throughout the home
Protects plumbing, taps, and appliances
Extends lifespan of carbon and finer filters
Washable and reusable (light rinsing)
High flow with low pressure loss
Key Features
10 micron nominal sediment filtration
20" Standard (Std) size cartridge
Pleated polyester media for large surface area
Washable/reusable design
Suitable for domestic, commercial, and rural systems
Designed for consistent high-flow performance
Common Applications
Whole house sediment pre-filtration
Rainwater tank systems
Bore and well water treatment
Pre-filtration before carbon or UV systems
General protection of plumbing and appliances
When to Replace or Clean
Typical maintenance interval: 3–6 months (depending on water quality)
Clean or replace sooner if:
Water flow decreases
Filter becomes visibly dirty or clogged
Sediment remains after rinsing
Note: While washable, the filter will degrade over time and require replacement.
Specifications
Micron Rating: 10 micron (nominal)
Size: 20" Standard (Std)
Media: Pleated polyester / polypropylene
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 chemicals or contaminants
Ultra-fine filtration (<5 micron applications)
Summary
A durable, high-flow pleated sediment filter designed for 20" Standard housings. It is best used as a first-stage filtration cartridge to remove fine sediment and protect downstream filters.
For best results, use it as part of a multi-stage system, followed by a finer sediment or carbon filter depending on your water quality.
