Pleated Sediment Cartridge, 5 inch, 30 Micron
SKU: PL305
The Puretec PL305 sediment cartridge is manufactured from a durable non-woven and reusable polyester fabric that is suitable for a wide range of filtration uses.
The media is pleated around a polypropylene core for added strength and the ends are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol.
Embedding and sealing each end of the pleat in this fashion fuses the three components together forming a unitized end cap and gasket. The overlap seam is sonically welded to reduce internal bypass improving filtration efficiency.
The media is pleated to maximize dirt holding capacity and extend the time period between changes or cleaning.
The Puretec PL305 sediment cartridges are resistant to both bacteria and chemical attack making them suitable for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications.

FAQ
Why should you choose Puretec water filter cartridges?
Puretec water filter cartridges are designed with advanced long-life filter technology, delivering exceptional contaminant removal and extended cartridge durability. With a diverse range of cartridge options available, you can confidently find the perfect solution tailored to your specific water filtration needs, whether for your home, office, or commercial application.
I only use my Puretec filters for a few months each year. When should I replace them?
If you use your Puretec filters seasonally, we recommend the following steps to maximise their lifespan and maintain water quality:
-
When not in use: Remove the filter cartridge and allow it to fully dry. This prevents bacterial growth on the carbon during periods of inactivity.
-
Before reuse: Reinstall the filter and flush the system thoroughly as per your user guide. This ensures any residual contaminants are removed before use.
With proper care, the estimated lifespan of your filter is 2–3 years. However, if you notice a decline in water quality or flow rate, consider replacing the filter earlier. For personalised advice, consult with our friendly Water Treatment team.
What is chlorine, and is it harmful?
Chlorine is a chemical commonly used to disinfect water and kill germs, making it effective for maintaining safe drinking water. However, it can have drawbacks. Chlorine contains compounds called Trihalomethanes (THMs), which are byproducts of chlorination and are recognised as potential carcinogens. Prolonged exposure to THMs has been reported to have links to certain health concerns.
Additionally, excessive chlorine can negatively affect the taste and smell of your water, making it less pleasant to drink. Puretec carbon filters are highly effective at removing chlorine and its byproducts, ensuring your water is not only safe, but also tastes and smells better.
