Nominal Rated

Nominal rated water filter cartridges are designed to remove a wide range of particles and contaminants from water, but their efficiency in capturing specific particles size can vary as the term “nominal rated” indicates that the filters performed is based on its ability to capture a majority of particles above a certain size, but not necessarily all of them. While nominal rated filters are not as precise as absolute rated filters, they can still be very effective in addressing common water quality issues, such as sediment, rust, chlorine and larger particulates. Nominal rated filters come in a range of micron ratings, allowing for a wider range and variety for its application and use, including residential, commercial and industrial settings, where general practice removal is needed. Nominal rated water filter cartridges generally have a high flow rate, compared to absolute rated filters with smaller pores that target smaller particle sizes.
