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
