These economical "HPF" sediment cartridges are constructed from polypropylene which is spun and melted simultaneously. This technique means there is no centre core to restrict filter performance. The "HPF" series of sediment filters are compatible with most liquids and are highly effective for sediment, rust, sand, silt, and algae removal. "HPF" performance sediment filters have no chemical residuals. They are extremely high performing and carry a heavy load of sediment before requiring replacement. We choose to use these sediment filters over all other types due to the high performance, high flow rate, high load capacity, and there inability to grow bacterial slim. Suitable for filtering cooking oil.
Benefits of 0.5 micron Filtration:
Giardia is a common condition caused by drinking contaminated water supplies. It causes severe and re-occurring stomach upsets which will require medical attention. Giardia needs to be pass through 0.5 micron filtration in order to trap the microscopic particles that will pass through anything larger than 0.5 micron filter media. In the past, the only method of doing this was to buy expensive 0.5 micron carbon filters. We are happy to say that we now offer a much cheaper alternative, which is the 0.5 micron Sediment Filter.
The 0.5 micron sediment filter effectively reduces Giardia, thus allowing you to purchase any micron rating Carbon Filters, because regardless of the micron rating they will ALL extract the chemical elements.
We recommend using this 0.5 Poly Spun cartridge in conjunction with our 1 micron Pure Coconut Carbon Filter on all twin undersink systems for use on municipal/town water supplies.
