Product Description

10x4.5" Transparent High Capacity Whole House Water Filter System, Presser Relief Button, 1” Inlet/Outlet Port & Yearly Supply (4) Pleated Sediments The 10"x 4.5" Transparent High Capacity Housing for Whole House Water Filtration System with 1" Inlet / Outlet Ports (RA-124-10S) is proper to use for reducing sediment, dirt, rust, & suspended particles in incoming water to you house. The transparent housing body is made of reinforced polypropylene for strength and resistance to chemicals, and the black cap is made of high-flow polypropylene for toughness. The black cap has 1" inlet / outlet brass ports which allowed better sealed connections to the corresponding pipes. There is rubber O-ring on the top of the housing body to ensure a watertight seal. A pressure relief button on the inlet side of the cap releases pressure in the housing for changing filter cartridges.Those Housings for use in various applications and is usually placed in the main water line entering the house including, but not limited to residential drinking water filtration, food service, and irrigation.Easy to connect multiply housings in one Custom Whole House Water Filtration System to fit your specific needs. WARNING: OPERATING PRESSER NO MORE THAN 60 PSI Filter Cartridges Included in this Set are 10"x 4.5" Pleated Washable & Reusable Sediment Filter (4 pack) The Big 10" x 4.5" Ronaqua pleated sediment water filters reduces sand, dirt, silt, rust, and scale particles in residential and commercial water. Pleated filters are made of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester media pleated around a polypropylene core for strength. These materials trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes and adsorb unwanted chemicals or substances that cause a chemical change to the water, such as acid neutralization. The pleated design provides an amplified surface area that may extend the filter’s life while removing undesirable particles and chemicals from the water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, and biological processes. Pleated filters are washable and reusable. A significant advantage of pleated filters is that they protect against a lower pressure drop and allow increased water flow rates. Overall, pleated cartridges outperform standard wound, spun, and melt blown filters because of their re-usability. The Ronaqua pleated sediment water filters have a flow rate of five gallons per minute (GPM). Because these filters are cleanable, the savings are passed down to users through increased filter lifespans and the best part is that these filters fit all 10x4.5-inch water filter housings. The Big water filter has wider dimensions than standard water filters, allowing it to process more water in less time for your house. A Big Sediment Water Filter removes the physical debris and impurities from your water. The sediment filter has tiny holes which water is able to pass, however the unwanted particles are not. As these particles come in different sizes, so do the filters. The filter sizes are measured in microns, the smaller the micron measurement, the smaller the holes in the filter, allowing to hold back the smallest of particles. Generally, for water that is more visibly polluted, containing larger particles, a sediment filter of a larger size is recommended in the first stage of installation to prevent the clogging of the next stage of filters. The main difference between a regular Sediment Filter and a Big Sediment Filter is the size, a Big Sediment Filter is usually used for filtering the water on the entrance into the house, appropriately called whole house filter. It is able to filter a larger volume of water than a regular filter with its larger surface area, size, and radius What is a Pleated Sediment Filter? The Pleated Sediment Filter is much similar to the properties of a regular sediment filter. It is able to filter out physical impurities such as dirt, silt, sand, and sediment; it could also be used in filtration systems as the first stage filtration system. The pleated sediment has a longer lifespan than the regular sediment because of the increased surface area of the filter as well as its material composition; you are able to wipe down and clean this filter of its collected dirt to continue using it. These Sediment Water Filters Intercept all Following Impurities Rust & Corrosion- Rust is a type of corrosion. Corrosion is the process by which certain materials, metals and non-metals, deteriorate as a result of oxidation. Rusting is oxidation of iron in the presence of air and moisture. ... Corrosion requires surface exposure to air or chemicalsCoarse Sand is our concrete sand that is washed and screened to a larger grit than our Fine Washed Sand (masonry sand). Coarse Sand is used with aggregate, water, and cement in the production of ready-mix concrete.Hard Scale causes a variety of problems in the home. Stains are probably the most noticeable result of hard water scale. Stains appear in toilets, sinks, and showers. Some hardwater scale are less noticeable, such as scale build up in pipes and in appliances which can cause costly repairs or the need to replace appliances.Fine Sand is very fine, screened sand that is typically tan in color. This type of sand is commonly used as base sand for above ground swimming pools, paving stones, sidewalk blocks and retaining walls. It is alternately used in stucco and cement applications.Particles is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass. They vary greatly in size or quantity, from subatomic particles like the electron, to microscopic particles like atoms and molecules, to macroscopic particles like powders and other granular materials. Particles can also be used to create scientific models of even larger objects depending on their density, such as humans moving in a crowd or celestial bodies in motion.Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice or by the force of gravity acting on the particles. For example, sand and silt can be carried in suspension in river water and on reaching the sea bed deposited by sedimentation; if buried, they may eventually become sandstone and siltstone (sedimentary rocks) through lithification. Sediments are most often transported by water (fluvial processes), but also wind (aeolian processes) and glaciers. Beach sands and river channel deposits are examples of fluvial transport and deposition, though sediment also often settles out of slow-moving or standing water in lakes and oceans. Desert sand dunes and loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition. Glacial moraine deposits and till are ice-transported sediments.Dirt is unclean matter, especially when in contact with a person's clothes, skin or possessions. Common types of dirt include: Dust: a general powder of organic or mineral matter; Filth: foul matter such as excrement; Grime: a black, ingrained dust such as soot; Soil: the mix of clay, sand, and humus which lies on top of bedrock.Silt is granular material of a size between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz & feldspar. Silt may occur as a soil or as sediment mixed in suspension with water and soil in a body of water such as a river. It may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a water body, like mudflows from landslides. Silt has a moderate specific area with a typically non-sticky, plastic feel. Silt usually has a floury feel when dry, and a slippery feel when wet. Silt can be visually observed with a hand lens, exhibiting a sparkly appearance. It also can be felt by the tongue as granular when placed on the front teeth (even when mixed with clay particles).
