Puretec PL1001 Pleated Sediment 100 Micron 2.5" x 10" Water Filter Cartridge

Focusing on coarse physical screening, the Puretec PL1001 cartridge captures large sediment particles like coarse sand and scale. This coarse model is designed for high-debris water sources where fine filters would block too quickly. It is suitable for standard slimline filter housings and performs initial raw water clarification.

The filtration medium is manufactured from high-capacity non-woven polyester fabric pleated to hold physical solids. This multi-fold fabric surrounds an internal polypropylene core that provides structural stiffness under incoming water flow. The ends are immersed in thermo-setting vinyl plastisol PVC, forming a unitized end cap and gasket.

This cartridge measures 2.5 inches by 10 inches and provides coarse nominal filtration down to 100 microns. It incorporates more than 4 square feet (0.37 square meters) of active pleated media to catch incoming particulates. The structural overlap seam is sonically welded, which blocks internal water bypass and increases physical capture efficiency.

This model features a maximum flow capacity of 52 L/Min, providing filtration with low resistance. The rated operating temperature bounds are 4.4°C to 51.7°C (40°F to 125°F). Featuring washable polyester fabric, this model utilizes a reusable configuration, allowing physical cleaning between filtration runs.

Features

• Pleated media design provides a large physical surface area to capture and accumulate suspended water solids.
• Manufactured from high-strength synthetic non-woven polyester fabric to resist microbiological degradation.
• Features a nominal filtration rating of 100 microns to capture fine physical particles and sediment flakes.
• The internal polypropylene core provides structural stiffness to resist collapsing under pressure spikes.
• Plastisol PVC end caps and integrated gaskets seal with the multi-fold media to block water bypass.
• Features standard dimensions of 2.5 inches by 10 inches, allowing clean installation into matching filter housings.
• Washable polyester fabric allows periodic cleaning, extending cartridge lifespan and lowering service costs.
