Choosing the Right Filter Cartridge or Media
Three key factors determine the optimal filtration solution for your application.
Sediment & Particle Removal
For bulk sediment, sand, and rust removal, choose Lenn Melt Blown cartridges (5–20 µm) or Eaton LOFCLEAN depth cartridges. For fine submicron filtration, use 3M Betafine T (0.5–1.0 µm).
Chlorine, Taste & Odour
For chlorine, taste, and odour reduction, choose Pentek GAC or NCP Series carbon-impregnated cartridges. These combine sediment filtration with carbon adsorption in one cartridge.
Iron, Manganese & Hardness
For iron, manganese, and hardness removal from well water, use Crystal-Right Zeolite Crystals or GEH Pyrolox. For multimedia pre-treatment before RO, use sand/anthracite/garnet beds.
