Pleated sediment filters offer a larger surface area, and their design is better suited to reducing larger particles of dirt and debris in water.

Whilst pleated cartridges will eventually blind with dirt (i.e. meaning they need replacing), it is possible to wash off the surface debris a couple of times at least, to prolong the life of the filter.

Rated 5 Micron. Replace when flow drops or at 6 months - whichever comes first.
