Product Description

5 Micron 9 3/4" Pleated Polyester Sediment Filter (PL5)

The PL5 5-micron pleated sediment filter is a professional-grade solution designed to handle high-volume water filtration with ease. Its pleated polyester media provides a vast surface area, ensuring efficient removal of sand, silt, rust, and scale while maintaining a minimal pressure drop. Built with a heavy-duty polypropylene core and vinyl plastisol end-caps, the PL5 is the preferred choice for protecting your downstream equipment from coarse sediment.

Why Choose the PL5 Filter?

  • High-Flow Performance: The pleated design allows for flow rates up to 25 lpm, making it ideal for whole-house systems or high-demand commercial setups.

  • Optimal Sediment Capture: Rated at 5 microns with 90% efficiency, it is perfect for intercepting medium-sized particles before they reach sensitive stages like carbon blocks or UV lamps.

  • Cost-Efficient Maintenance: Available in single units, 3-packs, or bulk boxes of 12, allowing you to tailor your supply to your system’s maintenance cycle.

  • Rugged Construction: The combination of resilient polyester and a robust core ensures long service life even in demanding borehole or industrial water environments.

It depends on your water source. If your water contains heavy sediment, a 5-micron filter is often better as a "first stage" because it removes larger particles, preventing the finer 1-micron filter (or carbon block) from clogging prematurely. Many homeowners use a 5-micron filter followed by a 1-micron filter to maximize system life.

Yes. The PL5 is highly effective for borehole and private water supplies. Its robust polyester construction handles the varied sediment profiles common in borehole water, providing excellent protection for your pump and interior plumbing.
