Membrane Solutions 20 Micron Pleated Water Filter 10x4.5 Whole House Sediment Replacement Cartridge (4 Pack)

The Membrane Solutions Pleated Water Filter 1045 is a versatile and efficient filtration solution designed to address a wide range of water quality concerns. With a pleated polyester construction, this filter offers a larger specific surface area compared to traditional sediment filters, enabling it to remove sand, dirt, silt, rust, and scale particles more effectively. This results in a stable and continuous water flow without significant pressure drop, ensuring a satisfactory household water experience.

As the first line of defense in the filtration system, the Membrane Solutions Pleated Water Filter 1045 can effectively prevent the clogging of water pipes and prolong the service life of water equipment. However, it is important to note that this filter cannot remove chlorine to improve water taste.

The filter is available in two micron ratings: 20 micron and 50 micron. The smaller the pore size, the purer the filtered water. However, it is crucial to consider the level of contamination in the raw water. If the raw water has a high level of impurities, a smaller micron rating may lead to the filter becoming clogged more quickly, resulting in a faster pressure drop and a shorter filter replacement cycle, which can increase maintenance costs.

The Membrane Solutions Pleated Water Filter 1045 is designed to be a universal fit, with dimensions of 9-7/8" (length) x 4-1/2" (outer diameter) x 1-1/10" (inner diameter). It is compatible with most 10" whole house sump-style filtration systems, making it a versatile option for a wide range of applications.

In terms of service life, the filter is rated to filter up to 30,000 gallons of water for the 20 micron version and 15,000 gallons for the 50 micron version. However, the actual filtered capacity and change-out cycle may vary depending on the inlet water quality and the frequency of use. To ensure the best water quality, it is recommended to replace the filter regularly, following the change-out cycle suggested by the manufacturer.

One of the unique features of the Membrane Solutions Pleated Water Filter 1045 is its washable and reusable design. The filter can be washed multiple times, but it is important to note that it should only be washed when the cartridge itself is not dirty, or according to the recommended change-out cycle, to avoid re-contamination of the filtered water.

In conclusion, the Membrane Solutions Pleated Water Filter 1045 offers a reliable and efficient water filtration solution for whole-house water systems. Its pleated design, universal fit, and washable/reusable capabilities make it a versatile and cost-effective option for homeowners and water treatment professionals alike.
