MICRON STRING WOUND FILTER CARTRIDGE RESIDENTIAL FILTRATION
Most homes and farms obtain their water from wells. Well pumps bring up sediment from the ground which is then pumped directly into the water system, typically beginning with the water softener. Sediment can then move on to other items such as water heaters, toilets, faucets, etc. In time, this sediment accumulates, causing premature fixture or appliance failure. MICRON recommends a WELL-PAC or whole-house pre-filter be used to trap incoming sediment at the source and keep the entire system free from sediment build-up.
The quality of water and amount of sediment varies from well to well, therefore the life of the filter cartridge will also vary. Typically a 25 to 50 micron filter cartridge is used as a pre-filter, although some applications use smaller micron ratings to remove even finer particles.
Agricultural applications include filtration of field sprays to keep nozzles from plugging.
