Description
DAFI 10 MIC mechanical water filter is a 10" polypropylene filter cartridge designed for home water systems and standard inline housings. It effectively supports water treatment by mechanically trapping sand, suspended solids, corrosion products, debris from plumbing systems, and fats. With a filtration accuracy of 10 µm, a capacity of up to 14 L/min, and universal application, it is a practical component of any water filtration system, also as support for more advanced solutions such as a pre-filter for an osmosis system, reverse osmosis filter, or reverse osmosis system.
Mechanical polypropylene cartridge for home water filtration
DAFI 10" 10 microns is a flow-through polypropylene cartridge designed for mechanical water filtration. Its task is to retain solid impurities present in the installation before they reach fittings, appliances, and subsequent treatment stages.
Thanks to a filtration accuracy of up to 10 µm, the cartridge helps reduce the presence of particles that can affect water use comfort and the condition of the installation and connected devices.
What does the DAFI 10 µm cartridge remove?
The cartridge mechanically filters water, capturing typical contaminants found in domestic water systems. It effectively removes:
- sand,
- suspended solids,
- corrosion products,
- contaminants from plumbing systems,
- fats.
This is a suitable solution for any water installation wherever effective protection against mechanical impurities is needed.
Application in a home water filtration system
The cartridge fits standard 10" housings used in domestic installations. It can work as a standalone water filter or as part of a larger filtration setup. It performs well wherever preliminary water cleaning is important before fittings, taps, household appliances, and additional filtration stages.
The mechanical polypropylene cartridge is also used as part of water preparation before more advanced solutions such as reverse osmosis or a reverse osmosis system, because it helps reduce the supply of solid contaminants to subsequent components of the installation.
Installation and operating recommendations
It is recommended to place the polypropylene filter at the end of the series, in accordance with the direction of water flow. This arrangement supports proper operation of the cartridge in the filtration system.
The optimal solution is to install two filters: one at the beginning of the series and another at the end of the series. This configuration supports effective removal of contaminants while helping maintain the efficiency of the entire system.
The maximum cartridge service life is up to 3 months. The actual operating period depends on water quality and the type and amount of contaminants retained. In practice, heavier water contamination may require earlier cartridge replacement.
Main benefits
- mechanical water filtration with accuracy up to 10 µm,
- effective retention of sand, suspended solids, and corrosion products,
- help in protecting fittings and devices connected to the system,
- compatibility with standard 10" housings,
- universal use in domestic water installations,
- capacity up to 14 L/min, depending on water supply pressure,
- ability to work as a standalone filter cartridge or as part of a larger water filtration system.
