PP Pleated Water Filter Cartridge
A PP pleated water filter cartridge is a type of water filter that uses polypropylene (PP) as the filtering material. PP is a type of plastic that is known for its strength, durability, and chemical resistance. PP pleated water filter cartridges are typically used in pre-filtration applications, where they remove large particles and contaminants from water.
PPL series pleated water filters are made of polypropylene, with high retention rate, high flow rate, high dirt holding capacity, high filtration efficiency and low cost.
With extensive chemical compatibility, used for filtering various acid base and solvent.
- Flow Rate
- 2 m³/h (suggested)
- Max Temperature
- up to 80°C
- SKU
- PPL
- Cleanroom Manufactured: Every cartridge is produced in a controlled workshop, limiting particulate introduced during assembly.
- Integrity-Tested per Element: Each cartridge is individually tested rather than batch-sampled.
- ISO 9001 Production: Manufactured under a certified quality management system.
- Economic Specification: Positioned as the cost-effective pleated option for general water duty, without the depth-media premium.
- 40" Format: Long-element build reduces cartridge count and change-out labour on mid-size systems.
- All-Polypropylene Build: Single-material construction throughout the flow path.
- Four Seal Options: Silicone, NBR, Viton or EPDM to match the process fluid.

Desalination: RO plant pre-filtration
PP pleated cartridges work by passing water through layers of pleated polypropylene media. The pleats trap particles and contaminants as water flows through. Particle removal depends on the pore size of the PP media.
They are a popular pre-filtration choice because they effectively remove a wide range of particles and contaminants, are inexpensive, and require minimal maintenance.
Primary duties
- Drinking Water: Potable water treatment duty.
- RO Pre-Filtration: Membrane protection upstream of reverse osmosis.
- Commercial Water Treatment: Building and facility water systems.
- Small to Mid-Size Systems: Plants where a 40" element sizes correctly without moving to high-flow formats.
