Pre-treatment and filtration order

The sequence of treatment stages in your water filtration system is critical to effectively manage sediment and particulate matter. Placing the Nelsen Dirt Cart 20-inch 5-micron filter cartridge as a pre-treatment step ensures that larger particles are removed before the water reaches more sensitive equipment, such as reverse osmosis systems. This order helps to prevent clogging and extends the lifespan of downstream components.
