Why Choose FiltEdge 5-Micron Filter Cartridges?
FiltEdge can redefine the standard of deep filtration. Firstly, the 5-micron filter cartridge adopts hot-melt self-bonding technology, which gives you the security of zero media shedding and zero fiber shedding problems, and prolongs the service life of reverse osmosis membrane. Secondly, the FiltEdge 5-micron filter cartridge adopts a three-layer gradient density process, the outer layer captures large particles, the inner layer accurately intercepts 5-micron impurities, and the dirt-holding capacity is greatly increased. And the FiltEdge 5-micron filter cartridge optimizes the fiber fineness distribution, extremely low initial pressure drops, high flow rate at the same time, system resistance is smaller.
At the same time, we insist on using 100% polypropylene, no additives or surfactants, with high chemical compatibility. When you choose FiltEdge, you’re not just choosing purity, you’re choosing cost control over the entire life cycle of fluid filtration.
What is a 5-Micron Filter Cartridge?
The 5-micron filter cartridge is the physical barrier and gold standard in industrial fluid treatment, designed for micron-sized particles, providing excellent influent water quality (SDI<3), saving you 15% on chemical cleaning costs. FiltEdge 5-micron filter cartridges provide accurate pre-filtration, blocking more than 98% of rust and colloid, and protecting expensive RO membranes downstream. FiltEdge 5-micron is also a key point to reduce the energy consumption of the system. The very low initial pressure drop eliminates the need for the pump to operate under high loads. Widely used in the chemical, electronics and food industries, where material purity is critical.

Reinforced center backbone provides high mechanical safety, prevents bypass leakage during high pressure operation, and effectively prevents media migration, reducing life cycle by more than 18%.
FiltEdge Surface Modification and Charge Capture Technology
FiltEdge™ has developed a surface modification and charge capture technology, which introduces a permanent electrostatic electret into the 5-micron polypropylene fibers to achieve deep spatial trapping through an electrostatic field, distributing the impurities uniformly across the cross-section of the cartridge. By introducing a permanent electrostatic electret into the 5-micron polypropylene fiber, the electrostatic field enables deep spatial trapping, which evenly distributes impurities across the cross-section of the cartridge, increasing the dirt-holding capacity of the cartridge by more than 1.5 times compared to traditional 5-micron cartridges. At the same time, the surface hydrophilic coating modification reduces the friction resistance when the fluid passes through, and the single machine processing throughput is higher. This process gives you a high degree of downstream safety because it effectively captures fine colloids and bacterial debris with a physical diameter of less than 5 microns, which is sufficient to penetrate conventional barriers. In addition, charge electret technology enhances the capture of micron-sized suspended solids, alters the energy distribution on the fiber surface, and provides exceptional chemical compatibility and physical stability, enabling the cartridge to maintain 99% interception in acidic, alkaline, salt spray, or high-temperature environments, as well as strong structural rigidity and resistance to contamination, providing you with consistent water quality around the clock and keeping your operating costs competitively low.

A 5-micron filter normally operates for 3 to 6 months, but we recommend that you monitor the differential pressure. When the differential pressure of the filter reaches 0.21MPa, the water flow may become significantly smaller, so please be sure to replace the filter at this time.
A 5-micron filter is mainly used to intercept physical impurities and biological contaminants. Physical contaminants include pipe rust, sediment, fine gravel, and coal dust. Biological contaminants are parasites, eggs, and some colony polymers.
No. Linting is a common problem with many inexpensive filter cartridges. FiltEdge hot-melt, self-bonding process, with no added glue or active agents, guarantees that there will be no fiber shedding, and no need to worry about water hammer pressure.
No problem at all, FiltEdge provides customized service, no matter your equipment is old or imported with special specifications, we can customize the length, inner and outer diameters, and interface shape for you, we can provide customized lengths ranging from 5“ to 70”, and a variety of cap end styles such as 222/226, or flat cap.
