This wide cartridge reduces dirt and rust before water enters domestic plumbing lines. It is suitable for MaxiPlus filter housings and installs on high-volume pump discharge manifolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its physical center, the cartridge incorporates a non-woven polyester fabric medium folded into a wide pleated layout. This pleated fabric surrounds a wide central polypropylene core that provides structural stiffness under pump pressure. The cartridge ends are embedded in thermo-setting vinyl plastisol PVC to form a unitized cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 4.5 inches by 10 inches, the model operates with a nominal rating of 20 microns. It incorporates more than 16 square feet (1.48 square meters) of active filter media to trap incoming particles. The structural overlap seam is sonically welded, which blocks internal water bypass and increases the physical capture efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit operates at a maximum flow rate of 94 L\/Min, keeping clean pressure drop low during service. It is rated for liquid temperatures from 4.4°C to 51.7°C (40°F to 125°F). Thanks to the washable non-woven fibers, the cartridge incorporates a reusable design, allowing routine washing to extend service runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleated media design provides a large physical surface area to capture and accumulate suspended water solids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from high-strength synthetic non-woven polyester fabric to resist microbiological degradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a nominal filtration rating of 20 microns to capture fine physical particles and sediment flakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe internal polypropylene core provides structural stiffness to resist collapsing under pressure spikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastisol PVC end caps and integrated gaskets seal with the multi-fold media to block water bypass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures standard dimensions of 4.5 inches by 10 inches, allowing clean installation into matching filter housings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashable polyester fabric allows periodic cleaning, extending cartridge lifespan and lowering service costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Puretec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51021049430263,"sku":"PL20MP1","price":120.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/puretec-pl20mp1-pleated-sediment-maxiplus-20-micron-4-5-x-10-water-filter-cartridge.png?v=1786620492","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/puretec-pl20mp1-pleated-sediment-maxiplus-20-micron-4-5-x-10-water-filter-cartridge","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
