Overview
With no plastic structural parts, it offers higher temperature and mechanical resistance than cartridges with a plastic cage or polypropylene end caps. Regular washing maintains filtration performance over a long period, making it an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable cartridges.
Features
- Mesh, shell and end caps entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel
- Washable and reusable; lowers consumable costs
- Perforated steel shell resists impact and deformation
- Higher temperature resistance than plastic cartridges
- Low pressure drop, consistent water flow
- Fits standard 10" and 20" filter housings
Applications
- Pre-filtration of mains water in residential and commercial buildings
- Retention of sand, rust and sediment in well and tank water
- Protection of hot water lines, boiler and water heater feeds
- Industrial process water and HVAC lines
- Coarse filtration ahead of water treatment systems

Maintenance and Cleaning
- Shut off the water supply and relieve the pressure in the housing.
- Open the housing and remove the cartridge.
- Clean the cartridge under running water with a soft brush from the outside in, then rinse from the inside out.
- If scale has formed, soak the cartridge in a dilute citric acid solution and rinse thoroughly with water.
- Check the gaskets, refit the cartridge, close the housing, then slowly reopen the water and check for leaks.
Washing frequency depends on water quality, dirt load and usage; wash the cartridge when a noticeable drop in flow occurs. Viton gaskets must be used in hot water applications. Do not use wire brushes, abrasives or chlorine-based cleaners; AISI 304 steel may corrode in water with high chloride content. Replace the cartridge if the mesh is torn or dented. System temperature and pressure must not exceed the rating of the filter housing used.
