RO Sediment Filters

 RO Sediment Filters +91 9160673696

An RO sediment filter removes physical impurities like dirt, sand, rust, and silt from water, protecting the main RO membrane and other filters from clogging. They are typically made of polypropylene and are available in various micron ratings. 

Types of RO Sediment Filters

Sediment filters for RO systems come in various types, primarily distinguished by material and structure: 

Spun Filters (Melt-Blown Polypropylene): This is the most common and budget-friendly type, made of layers of thermally bonded polypropylene microfibers. They effectively trap fine and medium-sized particles and are generally recommended for standard domestic use.

String Wound Filters: These are made of cotton or polypropylene string wrapped tightly around a core. They offer a high dirt-holding capacity, making them suitable for water with heavy particulate loads or for industrial/large-scale systems.

Pleated Filters: These feature a larger surface area due to their pleated design, which allows for higher flow rates. In some cases, they can be washed and reused, offering more durability than spun filters.

Inline Cartridge Filters: These are standard, universal-sized cartridges (commonly 10-inch or 5-inch) that are easy to replace and fit most domestic RO purifier housings. 

Key Specifications

Micron Rating: This indicates the size of particles the filter can trap. Common ratings are:

5 Micron: A balanced option, highly effective for most residential applications.

1 Micron: Provides very fine filtration for situations where even smaller particles need removal.

10 Micron: Used for basic pre-filtration of larger particles.

Material: Most modern filters are made from 100% non-toxic, food-grade polypropylene for purity and chemical compatibility.

Size: The standard size for most domestic RO systems is 10 inches in length, designed to fit universal pre-filter housings.

Lifespan: Sediment filters typically need replacement every 3 to 6 months, depending on the quality of the incoming water supply and usage to prevent clogging and protect the RO membrane.
