Pleated Sediment Water Filters

Description

Washable Pleated Water Filter | High Surface Area Sediment Filter

Reusable Depth Filtration for Cost-Effective Sediment and Silt Removal

The BlueSpot Water Pleated Filter Cartridge is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for removing heavy sediment from your water supply. Its unique accordion-style pleated design provides a massive surface area—significantly larger than standard melt-blown filters. This enables it to capture a higher volume of dirt, sand, and silt, delivering superior dirt-holding capacity and maintaining high flow rates even in challenging water conditions.

Features

• High Surface Area: The pleated design maximizes the filtration area, allowing for longer runs between maintenance and minimal pressure drop.

• Superior Dirt-Holding: Capable of trapping a high volume of particles, making it ideal for high-sediment areas like borehole water.

• Washable & Reusable: Designed to be rinsed clean to restore flow, saving you money on frequent cartridge replacements.

• High Flow Performance: Capable of handling flow rates up to 220 Litres per minute (size dependent).

• Universal Fit: Available in 10-inch, 20-inch, Slimline, and Big Blue formats to fit all standard South African housings.

How It Works

• Surface Capture: The pleated media acts as a high-capacity screen. As water passes through, sediment is trapped on the outer surface of the pleats.

• The Result: Use it as a powerful standalone filter for irrigation/garden use or as an essential pre-filter to protect sensitive downstream systems like Reverse Osmosis (RO) or UV Sterilizers.

Maintenance: The Single-Wash Rule

While the Pleated Filter is washable, it is intended as a temporary measure to restore flow.

• The Rule: You can rinse the filter once to clear heavy blockages. After a wash, the structural integrity of the pleats begins to degrade.

• Replacement Interval: Regardless of washing, replace the filter every 6 to 12 months.

• Sign of Failure: If water flow remains low even after washing, or if the filter media appears frayed or stained, it is time for a new cartridge.
