Most frequently asked questions:
Q. What is the difference between Strung Wound and Melt Blown cartridges?
A. Strung wound cartridges look like a ball of string, Melt Blown cartridges look like a tube of high quality foam. Strung wound cartridges have been around for many years whilst the Spun would cartridge has only become popular in recent years. Both types of cartridges perform equally well, however the Melt Blown cartridges cost less to buy.
Q. How often should the cartridges be changed?
A. The time between filter changes is dependent on the quality of your water and how much water you use. The poorer the quality and the more water you use, the more often the filter cartridges will need changing. However, as a rough guide you can expect to change the cartridges every 3 to 6 months.
Q. How do I know its time to change my filter cartridge?
A. Filter cartridges need changing at least every six months as a precaution against unwanted bacterial growth. However, some people wait for the cartridges to block the flow of water and / or they wait until “bits” start coming through to the tap, at which point they change the cartridge.
Q. Can I wash Strung Wound cartridges?
A. Some people put the cartridges in a washing machine or they hose them down to clean them. Neither practice is a good idea as they break down the body of the filter cartridge, dramatically reducing its performance.
A. Standard filters are only really suitable for treating a single tap, for example the drinking water tap on your kitchen sink. Where whole house protection is needed, then you will need to install filters that can deal with the higher water flows.
Q. Will this cartridge remove taste and odour, or scale / scum from my water?
A. No. Please see related products for cartridges that treat these problems.
Q. What are the differences between 1, 10 and 50 micron cartridges.
A. The smaller the number the finer the cartridge, that is, the more contaminants it will remove from your water. However, the disadvantage of finer cartridges is that they will block quicker and they are likely to restrict the flow and pressure more than the higher micron rating (e.g. 50 micron).
Typical Applications:
- Whole house filtration (normally installed on the main pipe into the house after the stop valve)
- Commercial premises that have more than one drinking tap or where a process relies on clean water
- Used to filter drinking water that contains some cloudiness (particles)
- Used on mains water where old pipes are creating rust particles, or if there is any other debris in the water.
Major benefits
- Traditionally, strung wound 5 micron filters have been the cartridge filter of choice for most people installing a high flow water filter
- The tightly strung wound body of the cartridge prevents even small particles from passing through whilst at the same causing little drop in flow or pressure (when the cartridge is new).
- The cartridge is open at both ends which means that the cartridge (once removed from the housing) can be inspected to see if debris is “breaking” through causing discolouration on the inside. When this occurs it’s time to change the cartridge.
