The AquaFX Pleated Sediment Filter is a high-capacity, washable, and reusable pre-filter designed to remove larger particulate matter from your aquarium's water supply. This 20-micron filter acts as a crucial first line of defense, effectively trapping sediment, dirt, and other debris before they can impact subsequent filtration stages, ensuring cleaner water for your reef system.

Measuring 20 inches by 4.5 inches, this robust sediment filter offers a substantial surface area for efficient particle removal. Its pleated design maximizes filtration capacity while maintaining excellent flow rates. Being washable and reusable, it offers an economical solution, though it is recommended to replace the filter after approximately five thorough cleanings to maintain optimal performance.

This filter is an excellent investment for reef keepers who contend with high levels of sediment in their source water, or those looking to extend the life and efficiency of their existing reverse osmosis (RO) systems. By removing larger particles upfront, it prevents premature clogging of finer 1-micron sediment filters and carbon blocks, ultimately saving you money and valuable time on filter replacements and maintenance.
