Pleated filter cartridges are one of the most common purification mediums found in many homes. They are often made from polypropylene, but you will also find various of them manufactured from polyester. Their sole purpose is to trap particles and debris onto their surfaces, improving the quality of water we consume. The pleated design serves to increase their surface area, which allows them to hold on to large volumes of sediment.

The efficacy of these casings increases as they continue holding on to dirt on their surface. The waste forms an extra layer that boosts the straining process.

Note that a pleated water filter cartridge will be of use unless the water flowing into your home contains sediments. It does not eliminate harmful pesticides, rust, bacteria and metals that may come into contact with water as it travels through the piping system.

Considering that their water purification process does not involve neutralizing disinfectants used in treatment plants, they cannot be used to improve taste or get rid of any foul smells that emanate from your water.

Material that pleated purifiers can remove

Sediment filters for water can remove:

Sand
Dust
Metal shavings:
Silt
Debris
Suspended fine particles

Since pleated filtration removes particulate matter, it is a great option for improving turbidity. As such, they are often used in the pre-purification procedures in the majority of water decontamination systems.

One thing to note, however, is that your poly pleated sediment cartridge filter is replaceable. Switching it out for new casings every half a year is suggested - unless you go for the reusable options. Otherwise, the build-up of sediment will prevent water from flowing through it fast, causing a fall in water pressure.

Advantages of using pleated water filters for home

Ensures safe hydration: it eliminates cysts, sand, and other kinds of dirt that may wreak havoc on our health.
High efficacy: Sediment cartridges retain over 90% of all debris and matter that make their way through them.
No foaming: since they get rid of organic substances that may cause foaming, you are assured of clean water.
Cost-effectiveness: compared to other purification methods - especially those that leverage ultra-violet and other technologies - a pleated sediment water filter offers an inexpensive way to hydrate healthily.
Allow other types of water purifiers to work as expected: To get water that is of superior quality, purifiers use a combination of technologies. Water will go into the particle remover before it flows into its carbon counterparts. Eliminating these particles and debris beforehand allows the carbon cartridges to perform their duties at optimal levels.

At Filterway, we have an array of filters that guarantee safer hydration. All casings are made from premium quality materials, offering unmatched efficiency. If you want more information on sediment filters, contact us today.

FAQ

What are pleated sediment filters?

Pleated sediment filters are a type of sediment filter commonly used in water filtration systems. They have a pleated or folded design, which increases the filter's surface area. This expanded surface area enhances the filter's capacity to trap and remove solid particles, such as sand, silt, rust, and debris, from water. Pleated sediment filters are known for their efficiency in capturing these contaminants, making them effective at improving water clarity and quality in various applications.

How do pleated sediment filters work?

Pleated sediment filters work by using their pleated or folded design to increase the surface area available for trapping and removing solid particles from water. As water passes through the filter, the pleats create more opportunities for particles like sand, silt, rust, and debris to become trapped within the filter's material. This design effectively captures these contaminants, improving water clarity and quality as it flows through the filter. Pleated sediment filters are commonly used as a key component in water filtration systems.

What types of sediment do pleated sediment filters remove?

Pleated sediment filters are effective at removing various types of solid particles suspended in water. Common contaminants they can capture include sand, silt, clay, rust, scale, and debris. The pleated design and fine filter media allow these filters to efficiently trap and retain these particles, ensuring clearer and cleaner water by removing the sediment and particulate matter that can affect water quality and potentially damage plumbing and appliances.

What are the available sizes for Pleated Sediment Filters?

We offer Pleated Sediment Filters in three different sizes: - 10 x 2.5 Inch: compact and ideal for smaller filtration systems or applications where space is limited. - 10 x 4.5 Inch: provides greater filtration capacity and is suitable for medium-sized filtration systems. - 20 x 4.5 Inch: for larger filtration needs, it offers increased surface area and flow rate, making it suitable for high-demand filtration systems. Choose the size that best matches your specific filtration requirements to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your filtration system.

How often do I need to replace a pleated sediment filter?

The replacement frequency for a pleated sediment filter depends on your water quality and usage. Typically, these filters are replaced every 6 to 12 months for residential use. However, in areas with high sediment levels or if you notice reduced water flow or pressure, it may be necessary to change them more frequently. Regular monitoring of filter conditions and adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations ensure that pleated sediment filters are replaced when needed, maintaining efficient water filtration and system performance.
