How It Works
The NP1-20 Nelsen Dirt Cart filter cartridge operates by drawing water through tightly wound layers of spun polypropylene fibers. These fibers trap sediment, dirt, rust, and other suspended solids as water passes through. The 1-micron rating means it captures particles as small as one micron in size, providing fine filtration that safeguards downstream equipment.
Installed inside a standard filter housing, this cartridge acts as the first line of defense in your water treatment setup, effectively preventing sediment from causing clogs or damage to sensitive components such as water softeners, pumps, and valves.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you’ll notice clearer water with fewer visible particles. The cartridge efficiently reduces sediment, improving the taste and appearance of your water and protecting your system. Over the first few weeks, it will continue to trap dirt without restricting flow, ensuring consistent performance.
With regular maintenance and timely replacement, the NP1-20 maintains system reliability and helps avoid premature wear in your water treatment components, making ongoing upkeep straightforward and hassle-free.
