20 inch Big Blue 1micron Water Filter Replacement Cartridge Set

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 referes to the largest dirt particle that will pass through the filter. A micron is a 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 it is visually dirty or water flow or pressure is reduced
– Consider using a backwashable media filter as a more sustainable alternaitve to single use plastic cartridges
