Question: What makes some Pleated Filters better than others?

- Big Blue 20″ Pleated/Washable
Answer:
The difference is the media. Not all pleated cartridges preform the same!!
The cellulose-free, synthetic filter media allows the pleats to retain their form, maintaining a large amount of surface. This allows the cartridge to handle higher solids loading and flow rates with a lower pressure drop that increases the filter efficiency and life, while reducing filter change out costs and frequency.
Competitive cellulose blended pleats collapse on one another, binding off large amounts of the cartridge surface area. Premature binding of the surface area reduces the flow capacity and efficiency while it raises the differential pressure, and contributes to a limited filter life and frequent filter change costs.
