Pleated filters are extremely popular when water has high levels of sand silt and sediment, are washable and reusable(five micron and up), to reduce filtration costs. The best cartridges are made of pleated polyester which is impervious to organics and bacteria in the water. For best results, direct spray into pleats to dislodge sediment. Or, let dry and brush off filter cake from surface of the media. Pleated filters are typically used for point-of-entry (POE) applications such as filtration for a whole house or business. There are many brands of pleated filters but (unless they are really cheap and made out of paper), most are very efficient. Ametek, Pentek, Liquatec, Flowmax, Watts and Harmsco are the major brands. The simple fact is that what makes a filter better is more pleats and media. Flowmax is the best, but is also the highest cost. The Harmsco WaterBetter filter is the middle-of-the-line and the Watts line is our most popular because it works well and costs less.
