The AquaFX 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Filter 10 Inch is a crucial pre-filter designed to efficiently remove larger particulate matter from your source water. This high-capacity filter acts as the first line of defense, capturing sediment before it can reach and prematurely clog finer filtration stages within your RO/DI system or other water purification setups.

Measuring 10 inches in length, this robust filter features a pleated design that significantly increases its surface area, allowing for greater sediment retention and extended lifespan. Its 20-micron rating ensures the effective removal of sand, rust, dirt, and other coarse debris. A key benefit is its washable nature, enabling users to clean and reuse the filter, providing excellent long-term value.

This sediment filter is an excellent investment for reef aquarists, particularly those with tap water known to have high levels of suspended solids or sediment. By installing this filter prior to a 1-micron sediment filter or an RO membrane, you can dramatically extend the life of subsequent filtration stages, saving both time and money on replacement cartridges and maintaining optimal water quality for your delicate marine environment.
