Who This Is For

  • You are upgrading your water treatment stage because sediment buildup in your primary membrane is forcing premature, costly replacements.
  • You are implementing multi-stage filtration because your local water supply carries enough silt and debris to choke your sensitive equipment downstream.

What We Found

  • The multi-layer depth design makes a noticeable difference in how much sludge these hold before you see a pressure drop.
  • We prefer these over standard string-wound filters because they do not have binders that could break down into your water.

What Users Say

  • Commercial operators report that these filters last significantly longer between changes compared to their previous standard spun-polypropylene options.
  • Users note that their secondary reverse osmosis membranes stay cleaner for longer durations, which eliminates the frequent, expensive downtime they used to schedule for membrane scrubbing.

Axeon R1 Series Sediment Filter - 5 Micron

Suspended solids and particulates can quickly clog sensitive downstream equipment, but the Axeon R1 Series Sediment Filter is designed to capture debris before it causes damage. Utilizing a 4.5" x 20" high-capacity design, this depth filter provides an economical solution for both standalone particulate reduction and as a critical pretreatment stage for high-demand units like the Axeon N-2000 Reverse Osmosis System. Its 5-micron rating ensures that even fine silt and rust are removed, protecting your water quality and your hardware.

The Axeon R1 Series features a sophisticated multi-stage depth filtration design with four distinct layers of graded density. By employing "outside-in" flow technology, the outer layers trap larger particles while the inner core captures the fine 5-micron sediment. This tiered approach results in a significantly higher dirt-holding capacity and a much lower pressure drop compared to standard string-wound or spun cartridges. To ensure the longevity of an Axeon XE1-4040 RO Membrane, this filter effectively removes the physical contaminants that cause membrane fouling. Manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene, this filter is free of surfactants and binders, meeting NSF Standard 42 for material safety.

FAQ

What makes this depth filter different from a standard sediment filter? +

Unlike standard filters, this cartridge uses a graded density design with four layers. This allows it to trap larger particles on the outside and smaller particles on the inside, preventing the surface from clogging prematurely and extending the filter's life.

Does this filter contain any chemicals or adhesives? +

No, the Axeon R1 Series is manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene fibers. It is completely free of surfactants, binders, and adhesives, making it safe for sensitive water applications. For systems requiring chemical maintenance, it pairs perfectly with Axeon S–200 Membrane Antiscalant to maintain peak performance.

Will this filter fit my existing 20-inch housing? +

This filter has a 4.5-inch diameter and a 20-inch length. It is designed to fit standard "Big Blue" or large-diameter 20-inch filter housings commonly used in whole-house or commercial systems, such as the Axeon Carbon 1252 Water Filtration System.

How often should I replace the sediment filter? +

Replacement frequency depends on your water quality and usage. However, the graded density technology provides a higher dirt-holding capacity, meaning you will generally experience a lower pressure drop and longer intervals between changes compared to conventional filters.

Is this filter safe for drinking water? +

Yes, it is manufactured using FDA-listed materials and is certified to NSF Standard 42 for material safety, ensuring it is suitable for food and beverage applications and general water purification.
