High Flow Filter Cartridge 1 Micron 20 Inch: Compact Large Diameter Pleated Filter For Small-Scale Ultra-Pure Water Pretreatment
Introduction:If you are sourcing High Flow Filter Cartridge 1 Micron 20 Inch for compact water treatment skids, small ultra-pure water systems and fine liquid purification projects with limited installation space, this 1μm short large-diameter pleated filter provides precise micro-particle interception with remarkable high-flow performance. Compared with 40-inch long high flow cartridges, the 20-inch compact design saves housing space while retaining the deep pleated PP media structure. It can efficiently trap micro colloids, fine silt, tiny suspended solids and residual flocs. It acts as reliable pre-filter protection for small RO, UF and ion exchange equipment, reducing membrane fouling risk. With glue-free thermal bonding, low pressure drop and convenient replacement, this compact filter is widely used in laboratory water, cosmetic production and small pharmaceutical liquid filtration.

Product Overview
High Flow Filter Cartridge 1 Micron 20 Inch is the shortened version of our 40-inch 1μm high flow filter, designed for projects with space constraints. It adopts high-purity virgin polypropylene filter media and deep pleated molding technology. The integral thermal welding structure removes chemical adhesive completely, avoiding organic precipitation and secondary pollution, meeting strict purity requirements for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Even with 20-inch shorter length, it keeps the same 115mm large diameter to guarantee enough filtration area. The precise 1μm pore structure captures micro impurities which may scratch membrane surfaces. Universal end cap options fit compact large-flow filter housings, supporting quick plug-and-play installation. It is the ideal fine filtration solution for small and medium water treatment systems.
Working Principle
This 1 micron 20-inch high flow filter cartridge uses outside-in pleated surface filtration principle. When process water and raw water flow through dense deep pleated media, large suspended contaminants are intercepted on the outer pleated layer, micro particles and fine colloids above 1μm are trapped by inner high-density PP filter layer. Optimized pleat layout balances flow rate and filtration accuracy, preventing local pressure surge and slowing clogging speed. All sealing positions adopt thermal fusion to avoid liquid bypass and ensure full effective filtration. Thickened reinforced inner core withstands differential pressure, keeping pleat structure intact and stable 1μm filtration accuracy under continuous operation.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between 20 inch and 40 inch high flow filter?
A1: The 20-inch cartridge is shorter for compact filter housings, with smaller total filtration area and lower single flow rate. The 40-inch model is for large volume water treatment. Both share identical filtration precision and material.
Q2: Can this 20 inch high flow filter be used for food-grade liquid?
A2: Yes. Virgin PP raw material and glue-free welding ensure no impurity leaching, complying with food contact requirements.
Q3: Is it disposable?
A3: Yes, it is disposable pleated filter cartridge. After clogging, cleaning cannot restore filtration performance, direct replacement is required.
Q4: Can customized end caps be supplied?
A4: Yes, DOE, SOE and other end cap styles are available for bulk orders.
