Key Benefits

• Protects water softeners and plumbing by efficiently removing dirt and sediment
• Improves water quality through fine 20-micron filtration for clearer, cleaner water
• Durable pleated design extends filter life and reduces replacement frequency
• Compatible with standard 9-3/4 inch housings for easy integration into existing setups
• Helps maintain optimal performance of water treatment systems by preventing clogging

How It Works

The Nelsen Dirt Cartridge operates by channeling water through a pleated 20-micron filter medium that traps fine particles and sediment. As water flows inside the cartridge, contaminants are captured within the pleats, preventing them from moving further downstream into your water softener or plumbing system.

This filtration process reduces the buildup of debris that can impair system components and ensures that your water treatment equipment functions efficiently and reliably over time.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll immediately notice improved water clarity and reduced sediment presence in your system. During the first few weeks, the cartridge effectively captures dirt particles, helping safeguard your water softener and extending its operational life.

With proper maintenance, the filter maintains consistent performance, requiring replacement only when pressure drops or flow rates diminish, ensuring your water system stays protected without frequent interventions.
