Sediment Water Filter Cartridge by Ronaqua (4-Pack, 1 Micron)

Melt-blown Four Layers Filtration Polypropylene Sediment Filter (4 pack)

Sediment water filters play a crucial role in removing physical debris and impurities from your water supply. These filters are designed with tiny pores that allow water to pass through while trapping unwanted particles of various sizes. The micron rating of the filter determines the size of particles it can capture - the smaller the micron rating, the finer the filtration.

For water sources that are more visibly polluted, containing larger particles, a sediment filter with a larger micron rating (such as 20 or 50 microns) is typically recommended as the first stage of a filtration system. This helps prevent the clogging of subsequent filters, ensuring optimal performance and extended lifespan.

This sediment filter is often the initial stage in a reverse osmosis (RO) system, acting as a protective net to capture sand, dirt, silt, rust, and other fine particles. By removing these contaminants, it allows downstream filters, such as carbon block or granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, to operate more effectively for longer periods.

The sediment filter is made of fine, melt-blown polypropylene, which is then spun into a cylindrical form. Polypropylene is a durable material that is resistant to chemical solvents, bases, and acids. The multi-layer gradient filtration design features an outer zone, mid-zone, inner zone, and innermost zone to intercept a wide range of impurities, including:

• Rust and Corrosion: Oxidation of iron in the presence of air and moisture
• Coarse Sand: Used in concrete production
• Hard Scale: Causes stains and buildup in pipes and appliances
• Fine Sand: Used in various construction and landscaping applications
• Particles: Varying in size from subatomic to macroscopic
• Sediment: Naturally occurring materials transported by wind, water, or ice
• Dirt: Unclean matter such as dust, filth, and grime

These universal sediment filters are designed to fit most standard 10-inch under-sink reverse osmosis systems, whole-house water systems, under-counter water filters, and countertop water filter systems. They offer an extraordinary dirt-holding capacity and superior flow rate compared to similar-sized sediment filters.

The filters are capable of reducing sediment particles as small as 1 micron without adding any taste, odor, or color to the water. They are suitable for a wide range of residential, rural, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
