The sediment filter is usually the first stage in a water filtration system. It serves to remove visible dirt particles such as mud, rust and sand from the water. A melt-blown filter cartridge has a multi-layer structure and is self-bonded, thus not making use of a chemical binder.
Sediment filters are rated by a micron number or aperture size which refers to the largest dirt particle that will pass through the filter. A micron is 0.001 millimeters. The most common sediment filters available are 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50(micron).
Dimensions:
Length: 500mm
Outside diameter: 110mm
Inside diameter: 26mm
Recommendations:
Use successively finer aperture filters in series for distributing the dirt load and achieving the best result
Replace the filter if it is visually dirty or if water flow or pressure is reduced
Consider using a back washable media filter as a more sustainable alternative to single use plastic cartridges
