Ronaqua pleated sediment water filters reduces sand, dirt, silt, rust, and scale particles in residential and commercial water. Pleated filters are made of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester media pleated around a polypropylene core for strength. These materials trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes and adsorb unwanted chemicals or substances that cause a chemical change to the water, such as acid neutralization. The pleated design provides an amplified surface area that may extend the filter’s life while removing undesirable particles and chemicals from the water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, and biological processes. Pleated filters are washable and reusable.
A significant advantage of pleated filters is that they protect against a lower pressure drop and allow increased water flow rates. Overall, pleated cartridges outperform standard wound, spun, and melt blown filters because of their re-usability. The Ronaqua pleated sediment water filters have a flow rate of five gallons per minute (GPM). Because these filters are cleanable, the savings are passed down to users through increased filter lifespans and the best part is that these filters fit all 10-inch water filter housings.
What is a Pleated Sediment Filter?
The Pleated Sediment Filter is much similar to the properties of a regular sediment filter. It is able to filter out physical impurities such as dirt, silt, sand, and sediment; it could also be used in filtration systems as the first stage filtration system. The pleated sediment has a longer lifespan than the regular sediment because of the increased surface area of the filter as well as its material composition; you are able to wipe down and clean this filter of its collected dirt to continue using it.
