SUBSTANTIALLY REMOVES
Cryptosporidium
Giardia Cysts
Harmful Organisms
Sediment
Silt
Turbidity

FEATURES 

Absolute rated one micron filter media removes cysts-sized particles for safe, cyst-free drinking water.
Pleated polypropylene filter media provides more surface area for longer filter life and increased particle removal.
FDA listed materials for use in potable water and liquid food applications.
End caps, centre tubes and media are thermally bonded as one integral component for added strength and to provide superior end sealing.
Full product line for standard, big-white filter housings.

INDEPENDENT LAB VALIDATED 

To verify the performance of Poly-Pleat cartridges and Harmsco filter housings, Pace Analytical*, a highly respected independent testing facility, was selected to conduct challenge tests to the NSF 53-2007 protocol for cysts reduction. The NSF 53-2007 protocol consists of two side-by-side systems operating on aa 10-minute on/ 10-minute off cycle. Polystyrene 3-micron beads were injected after the 8th cycle and at 25%, 50% and 75% reduction in flow rate.

Pace Analytical in State Certified (CA, IA, MA, WI). Results are accepted by Water Quality Association (WQA), Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for product label or seal programs. 

LOW PRESSURE DROP 

Initial pressure drop using Poly-Pleat cartridges is exceptionally low due to our pleated design and increased surface area. Pressure drop data is shown here, calculated for new cartridges in clear water.
