Ronaqua Big Sediment Replacement Water Filters 1 Micron 4.5x 20 Cartridges

From the brand PURE WATER IN EVERY DROP!, the Big 20" x 4.5" Melt-blown Polypropylene Sediment Filter (20 Pack) is often the first filter installed in the Whole House Water Filter circuit. This sediment filter is the first point of contact between your water supply and your home, acting as a pre-filtration unit before the water continues to reverse osmosis and activated carbon filters. It catches unwanted particles, including sand, dirt, silt, rust, and other fine particles as they attempt to enter your house's water system.

The Big 20" x 4.5" filters are made of fine-melted polypropylene that are blown and spun into a cylinder-like form. Removal of these particles allows filters, such as Carbon Block or GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) filters, as well as household water appliances like boilers, refrigerators, ice-makers, and many more, to perform better for longer periods of time.

The Big water filter has wider dimensions than standard water filters, allowing it to process more water in less time for your house. The sediment filter has tiny holes which water is able to pass, however the unwanted particles are not. As these particles come in different sizes, so do the filters. The filter sizes are measured in microns, the smaller the micron measurement, the smaller the holes in the filter, allowing it to hold back the smallest of particles. Generally, for water that is more visibly polluted, containing larger particles, a sediment filter of a larger size is recommended in the first stage of installation to prevent the clogging of the next stage of filters.

The main difference between a regular Sediment Filter and a Big Sediment Filter is the size. A Big Sediment Filter is usually used for filtering the water on the entrance into the house, appropriately called a whole-house filter. It is able to filter a larger volume of water than a regular filter with its larger surface area, size, and radius. These Sediment Water Filters intercept all following impurities through a multi-layer gradient filtration process, with the outer zone, mid zone, inner zone, and innermost zone working together to provide extraordinary dirt-holding capacity and superior contaminant removal.

The Big 20" x 4.5" 1 Micron Sediment Water Filter offers superior contaminant holding capacity and flow rate compared to similar size sediment water filter cartridges. These cartridges will reduce sediment particles as small as 1 micron without adding taste, odor, or color to your water, making them ideal for all residential, rural, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
