FILTER SEDIMENT PLEATED

Pleated water filter cartridges are another widely used type of sediment filter, especially valued for their high surface area and reusability.

High Surface Area The pleated design increases the surface area significantly compared to depth filters. More surface area means higher dirt-holding capacity and longer filter life.

Washable and Reusable Many pleated filters can be rinsed and reused multiple times, making them more cost-effective over time.

Low Pressure Drop The large surface area allows water to flow more freely, resulting in lower pressure loss across the filter.

Micron rating refers to the size of particles the filter can capture:

• 1 micron: Removes fine particles like bacteria and fine silt.
• 5 micron: Removes most sediment, rust, and dirt.
• 10-50 micron: Targets larger particles like sand and scale.
