Steel Filter with Plastic Cage, Siliphos 2 in 1
50 - 70 micron stainless steel mesh + siliphos (polyphosphate) fill · Double open end (DOE) · 5" / 10" / 20"
Dual-function filter combining a washable stainless steel mesh cartridge, protected by a polypropylene cage, and siliphos (polyphosphate) crystals in one body. The steel mesh retains sand, sediment and particles at 50 - 70 micron, while the siliphos crystals inside the cartridge dissolve slowly in the water and reduce the adhesion and build-up of limescale (Ca and Mg ions) and carbonates on surfaces.

Overview
It provides both sediment filtration and scale prevention in a single filter housing. The plastic cage protects the mesh from impact. The end cap is removable: the mesh is washed and reused, and the siliphos can be refilled once used up.
Features
- Sediment filtration and scale prevention in one cartridge
- Siliphos crystals dissolve slowly and evenly in water
- Stainless steel mesh protected by a plastic cage
- Removable end cap for easy siliphos refilling
- Fits standard 5" / 10" / 20" filter housings
- Scale protection without an additional housing
Applications
- Pre-filtration of service water in residential and commercial buildings
- Scale prevention at the inlet of combi boilers and water heaters
- Protection of washing machine and dishwasher inlets
- Protection of plumbing, fittings and heating elements against scale
- Well and tank water lines

Maintenance and Cleaning
- Shut off the water supply and relieve the pressure in the housing.
- Open the housing, remove the cartridge and check the amount of siliphos.
- Clean the cartridge under running water with a soft brush, from the outside in.
- If the siliphos is low, open the end cap, top up the crystals and refit the cap.
- Refit the cartridge, slowly reopen the water supply and check for leaks.
Washing frequency depends on water quality, dirt load and usage; wash the cartridge when a noticeable drop in flow occurs. Do not use on hot water lines (above 45 °C); install the filter on the cold water inlet of the water heater. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals. Replace the cartridge if the mesh is torn or the cage is broken or deformed.
