OEM/ODM 5 Micron Pleated Sediment

5 Micron Pleated Sediment

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

The 5 Micron Pleated Sediment Filter is the essential first line of defense in any serious water treatment system. Sediment—which includes rust, dirt, sand, and scale particles—can severely damage expensive downstream components like carbon blocks, RO membranes, and dispensing equipment. By effectively trapping these particles down to the tiny 5-micron size (invisible to the naked eye, a human hair is about 70 microns), this filter protects the performance and extends the lifespan of your entire water filtration setup. Its pleated design is a significant upgrade over traditional spun or string-wound filters, offering superior dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop.

The key benefit of the pleated structure is the dramatically increased surface area. Folding the filter material provides a vastly larger contact area for catching sediment, meaning the filter can hold more contaminants before becoming clogged. This directly translates to longer service life and fewer change-outs, saving time and money for the user. Furthermore, many of our pleated filters are designed to be washable and reusable in certain applications, offering an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for whole-house pre-filtration and commercial setups. Its reliability and high-efficiency performance make it a standard choice for protecting pumps, nozzles, and delicate filtration stages.

Specification

Parameter Detail
Filter Material Polypropylene (PP) or Polyester Fabric
Micron Rating 5 Micron Absolute or Nominal (depending on series)
Configuration Pleated/Folded Design for High Surface Area
Standard Sizes 10" x 2.5", 10" x 4.5" (Big Blue), 20" x 4.5"

The material is chemically resistant and suitable for potable water applications. The core is typically high-strength polypropylene for structural integrity.

Advantage

  • Exceptional Dirt-Holding Capacity: The pleated structure maximizes the filter surface area, allowing it to trap significantly more sediment than non-pleated alternatives, drastically extending filter life.
  • Low Pressure Drop: The high porosity and increased surface area allow water to flow through with minimal resistance, maintaining optimal system pressure.
  • High Flow Rate Capability: Suitable for high-demand residential and commercial applications, ensuring sufficient water supply even during peak usage.
  • Potential for Reusability: Many polyester pleated models can be rinsed and reused several times, offering an economical and sustainable filtration solution.
  • Structural Integrity: Built to withstand high differential pressure without media migration or collapsing, ensuring consistent filtration performance until replacement is necessary.

Choosing a pleated filter represents an optimization strategy: maximize filtration efficiency while minimizing maintenance frequency and pressure impact.

Application

This versatile filter is utilized in a wide array of demanding applications:

  • Whole House Pre-Filtration: Installed as the first stage to prevent sediment from entering the home's plumbing, protecting appliances like water heaters and washing machines.
  • Reverse Osmosis Pre-Treatment: Crucial for protecting the sensitive RO membrane from fouling and abrasion caused by suspended solids.
  • Industrial Process Water: Used in textile, chemical, and cooling tower applications where suspended solids must be controlled to maintain equipment efficiency and product quality.
  • Point-of-Use Systems: Serving as a final polish or guard filter in under-sink and beverage dispenser systems to ensure the removal of any fine particulate matter.
  • Water Well Systems: Highly effective in filtering out sand and silt before the water reaches the pressure tank, minimizing pump wear and maximizing system lifespan.

Its robust design makes it an excellent choice for areas with high turbidity or intermittent heavy sediment loads.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • Q: How often should I replace the 5 Micron Pleated Filter?
  • A: Replacement is based on water quality and usage, not time alone. The general rule is to replace it when you notice a significant drop in water pressure (typically around 6-12 months), indicating it is fully loaded with sediment.
  • Q: Can this filter remove chemicals or chlorine?
  • A: No. A sediment filter's role is purely mechanical filtration of particles. To remove chemicals like chlorine, herbicides, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), you must follow the sediment stage with a specialized Carbon Block or Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filter.
  • Q: What is the difference between "Nominal" and "Absolute" micron rating?
  • A: Nominal means the filter can capture a percentage of particles (e.g., 80-95%) at the stated micron size. Absolute means the filter can capture nearly all (e.g., 98-99.9%) of particles at that size. Absolute filters are used for critical applications.
