How It Works

This Pentek pleated dirt cartridge functions as a sediment filter within your water treatment system. Water passes through the pleated filter media, which traps particles like sand, silt, rust, and dirt, preventing them from reaching downstream equipment. The pleated construction increases the filtration surface area compared to standard spun filters, allowing for higher dirt holding capacity and longer service intervals.

By capturing these sediments early, the cartridge helps maintain water quality and prevents damage or clogging in appliances, water softeners, and other system components.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll immediately notice improved water clarity and reduced sediment presence in your taps and appliances. Over the first few days, the cartridge will efficiently remove accumulated particles, helping your system operate smoothly. With proper maintenance, this filter can provide reliable performance for weeks before replacement is needed.

Regular monitoring of water pressure and clarity will help you determine the optimal replacement schedule, ensuring consistent protection without compromising flow.
