10" x 2.5" Poly Pleated Sediment Filter - 1 Micron
Polyspun vs. Pleated Filter Comparison
Filtration Type:
• Polyspun: Depth filtration – captures particles throughout the media
• Pleated: Surface filtration – traps particles on the outer surface
Material:
• Polyspun: Melt-blown polypropylene
• Pleated: Polyester or cellulose-polyester blend
Structure:
• Polyspun: Gradient density (tightens toward the core)
• Pleated: Pleated folds for increased surface area
Dirt-Holding Capacity:
• Polyspun: High – ideal for heavy sediment
• Pleated: Moderate – best for lighter sediment loads
Reusability:
• Polyspun: Single-use (not washable)
• Pleated: Often reusable (can be rinsed depending on material)
Flow Rate:
• Polyspun: Moderate
• Pleated: High
Cost:
• Polyspun: Typically lower
• Pleated: Slightly higher
Best For:
• Polyspun: High-sediment water (rust, sand, dirt)
• Pleated: Finer filtration, clearer water, and longer intervals between changes
