Pleated Cellulose Sediment Cartridge

Crystal Quest® Premium Pleated Cellulose Sediment Cartridges - Advanced Filtration Technology

High-Performance Construction:

• Precision Fiber Media: Durable Polypropylene Fibers engineered for consistent filtration
• Reinforced Structure: Cartridges feature a robust polypropylene core for enhanced structural integrity
• Secure End Caps: Premium Vinyl Plastisol end caps using thermo-setting technology for leak-proof sealing
• Protective Netting: High-grade Polyethylene mesh maintains media configuration and protects the pleated surface
• Wide Temperature Tolerance: Performs reliably from 40°F to 145°F (4.4°C to 62.8°C), suitable for various water conditions

Crystal Quest® Pleated Cellulose Sediment Cartridges represent the perfect balance of filtration efficiency and extended service life. Expertly designed with a precision-pleated structure, these 5-micron cartridges provide exceptional sediment removal while maintaining superior flow rates throughout their operational lifespan.

Performance Advantages:

• Maximized Dirt-Holding Capacity: The strategic pleated design dramatically increases surface area, allowing these cartridges to capture and retain significantly more sediment than standard filters
• Consistent Flow Performance: Maintains strong water pressure even as particulates accumulate, avoiding the flow restriction common in conventional sediment filters
• Extended Replacement Intervals: Superior sediment loading capacity translates to less frequent filter changes—with CQE-RC-04015 models offering an impressive 18-24 month service life
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Longer service intervals mean fewer replacement cartridges and less maintenance time
• Comprehensive Sediment Removal: Effectively captures sand, silt, rust particles, scale, and other suspended solids down to 5 microns
• System Protection: Acts as an excellent pre-filter to protect downstream equipment including carbon filters, reverse osmosis membranes, and water softeners
• Improved Water Clarity: Removes visible particulates that affect water appearance, providing clearer, more aesthetically pleasing water
• Minimal Pressure Drop: Engineered to maintain excellent flow rates even as the filter approaches the end of its service life

Ideal Applications: These versatile cartridges excel in whole-house filtration systems, pre-filtration for specialized treatment equipment, and applications where water contains moderate to high levels of suspended solids. They're particularly valuable for well water systems and municipal water with variable sediment levels.

Longevity Assurance: Standard models provide 12-18 months of reliable service, while the premium CQE-RC-04015 model extends performance to an impressive 18-24 months under normal conditions, reducing your maintenance frequency and overall operating costs.

Upgrade your water filtration system with Crystal Quest® Pleated Cellulose Sediment Cartridges – where innovative pleated design meets exceptional sediment-capturing performance for cleaner, clearer water throughout your home.
