Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clamp-type single cartridge filter?
It's a filter housing that holds one cartridge and uses a quick-opening clamp ring to secure the lid - instead of multiple bolts or flanges. Loosen one clamp, lift the lid, swap the cartridge. No pipe disconnection, no tools, no downtime.
What sizes are available?
Standard cartridge lengths: 5", 10", 20". All use 2.5" OD standard cartridges. Housing is sized accordingly - the longer the cartridge, the more surface area, the longer the service life and the higher the flow capacity.
How do I choose the right length?
| Size | Application | Flow Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 5" | Point-of-use, small skids, lab | 1-3 m³/h |
| 10" | Point-of-use, small skids, lab | 3-5 m³/h |
| 20" | General industrial, medium flow | 5-8 m³/h |
What connection types are available?
Threaded (BSP/NPT): 1/2", 3/4" and 1", most common for industrial piping.
What cartridges can I use?
Any standard 2.5" OD cartridge: PP melt-blown, string wound, pleated, carbon block, membrane. DOE or SOE (222/226 fin). You're not locked to our brand; any standard cartridge fits. This keeps your ongoing consumable cost low and flexible.
How do I change the cartridge?
- Close inlet valve / shut off pump
- Relieve pressure (bleed valve or slightly loosen clamp)
- Loosen clamp ring
- Lift lid
- Remove old cartridge
- Insert new cartridge (check gasket seated)
- Close lid, secure clamp
- Repressurize, check for leaks
How do I know when to replace the cartridge?
- Pressure drop: Install a gauge before and after the housing. When differential reaches 2-3 bar, change the cartridge
- Flow drop: Same pump setting but noticeably less output = cartridge loaded
