What is the PP Sediment Filter and and How Does It Work?

PP sediment filter is mainly used for pre-purification, common general filtration accuracy of 5 microns, they are the first defense barrier of water purifier filtration.

How does the PP sediment filter work?
The PP sediment filter is scientifically designed to leave enough space to filter tap water while capturing the dirt and sediment it carries. It can be understood as an interceptor network to capture particulate matter.

What is the function of the PP sediment filter?
Removal of particulate impurities in the water. PP sediment filtration accuracy is commonly divided into 5 microns and 1 micron, which can filter out sediment, rust, red insects, and other large particles in the water. Good quality PP sediment filter structure is tight inside and loose outside, the water flows from the outside to the inside, layer by layer filtration, producing the phenomenon of bridging. As a result, even particles smaller than the pores can be blocked. 

Multi-layer depth structure with large dirt-holding capacity. The outer layer of the PP sediment filter has coarser fibers, while the inner layer has finer fibers, forming a multi-layer gradient structure. Each layer of them can intercept and store the contaminants in the water and enhance its performance.

With a high-flow rate during filtration. Polypropylene fibers, the raw material of PP cotton, rely on self-adhesive intertwining to form a three-dimensional curvilinear microporous structure. It has a larger amount of surface area and higher porosity. The large surface area and small pores allow water to pass through the PP sediment filter quickly.

What are the uses of PP sediment filters?
PP sediment filter is an important part of the water treatment system, mostly used in traditional reverse osmosis(RO) machine filtration systems and whole house filtration systems to remove sediment and other large particles of contaminants while protecting the lives of other valuable filters at home.

How often does the PP sediment filter need to be replaced?
We recommend that it is best to replace the PP sediment filter every six months, depending on your situation. You need to know that an overused cartridge will no longer give you the pure water you deserve. On the other hand, you can also keep an eye on the water pressure. When the pressure index drops significantly, the PP sediment filter needs to be replaced.
