Premium pleated polypropylene filter media for coarse sediment removal.
50 micron filtration rating for large particulate reduction.
High dirt-holding capacity for extended cartridge life.
Reduces sand, rust, dirt, silt, scale, and suspended solids.
Large surface area design provides high flow rates with low pressure drop.
Rigid pleated structure maintains filtration performance under pressure.
Standard 10" cartridge size.
Compatible with most standard 10" filter housings.
Helps protect pumps, valves, carbon filters, membranes, and other downstream equipment.

Filter Type: Pleated Sediment Cartridge
Media: Pleated polypropylene
Size: 10" Standard (10" x 2.5")
Micron Rating: 50 micron

Typical replacement interval: Every 6–12 months, depending on water quality, sediment levels, and water usage.
Replace sooner if:
Water flow decreases noticeably.
Pressure drop increases across the filter.
The cartridge becomes heavily clogged or discoloured.
Sediment begins passing through the filtration system.
Filtration performance declines.
Pleated polypropylene media may be rinsed and reused in some non-potable applications. Replace the cartridge when the media is damaged, permanently blocked, or no longer provides effective sediment reduction.
Best Used With
A 20 micron or 5 micron sediment filter as a secondary stage for finer sediment removal.
Activated carbon filters for chlorine, taste, and odour reduction.
As the first stage of a multi-stage filtration system to maximise the life of downstream filter cartridges.
Not Suitable For
Fine sediment removal below the 50 micron rating.
Chlorine, taste, or odour reduction.
Bacteria or virus removal.
Water softening or hardness reduction.
Dissolved chemical contaminant removal.
