Description
A 5-micron sediment filter is more fine-grained compared to a 50-micron filter. Here's what a 5-micron filter typically does:
-
Fine Particle Removal: Effectively filters out particles that are 5 microns or larger in size, including fine sediment, silt, and sand.
-
Improved Water Quality: Enhances water clarity by removing smaller particles that contribute to turbidity.
-
Basic Contaminant Reduction: Provides basic protection against larger microorganisms, such as some types of bacteria and cysts.
While a 5-micron filter improves water quality significantly over coarser filters, it may still allow smaller contaminants like viruses to pass through. For applications requiring higher purity water, additional filtration steps or a smaller micron rating may be necessary.
Quality Materials
Pentair Pleated filters are made of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester media pleated around a polypropylene core for strength. These materials trap suspended particles, block microbes and absorb unwanted chemicals or substances that cause a chemical change to the water, such as acid neutralization.
Benefits:
- Washable
- Reusable
- Extended life span
- Increased dirt-holding capacity
- Reduces sand, silt, Dirt, and scale particles
- Protect against lower pressure drop
- outperform standard wound, spun, and melt-blown filters because of their reusability saving you time and money.
Normal life span approx. 12 months depending on water quality and use
