NPF-20-20 Nelsen Dirt Cartridge: Superior Sediment Filtration for Cleaner Water Systems

Designed to tackle sediment and dirt contamination, the NPF-20-20 Nelsen Dirt Cartridge offers reliable filtration that protects your water treatment system from clogging and wear. This 20-micron pleated filter cartridge efficiently captures fine particles, making it an essential component for maintaining water clarity and system longevity in any setup requiring Filter Cartridges.

Key Benefits

• Protects your water system from sediment buildup and debris clogging
• Enhances overall water quality by filtering out 20-micron particles
• Durable pleated design ensures long-lasting filtration performance
• Easy to install and replace within standard 20-inch housings
• Supports consistent water flow by preventing filter blockages
• Lightweight construction reduces strain on filtration systems

How It Works

The NPF-20-20 uses a pleated filtration media designed to trap dirt, rust, sand, and other sediment particles down to 20 microns in size. When installed inside a compatible filter housing, water passes through the cartridge’s surface area where contaminants are captured on the pleats. This prevents sediment from entering downstream components, protecting pumps, valves, and other system parts from damage.

Its pleated design maximizes surface area, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and longer intervals between replacements compared to standard spun or string-wound cartridges.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you will notice improved water clarity and a reduction in particulate matter. In the first few days and weeks, the cartridge will efficiently trap visible sediment without significantly affecting water pressure. Over time, as the cartridge collects dirt, it may require replacement to maintain optimal flow rates.

With proper maintenance, the NPF-20-20 offers consistent filtration performance and helps extend the lifespan of your water softener or treatment system components by preventing sediment-related wear and tear.

What’s Inside

• Pleated Filtration Media – Provides high surface area for effective sediment capture and longer filter life.
• Polypropylene Core – Ensures structural integrity and resists chemical degradation within water systems.
• End Caps – Secure the pleated media and provide a tight seal inside the filter housing for proper flow direction.
• Outer Wrap – Protects the pleats from damage during installation and handling.

How to Use

1. Turn off water supply to the filter housing before removing the old cartridge.
2. Release pressure and unscrew the filter housing carefully.
