Cartridge/Bag Filter

Bag filtration uses a bag manufactured from filtering material. The bag sits inside the filter housing and as it fills up, the water passes through the tiny holes in the material and leaves behind unwanted particles. These systems are quick and easy to use, cost-effective and easy to maintain.

Bag filtration systems are an excellent option for water treatment scenarios where basic filtration and a high rate of water flow is needed. The technology is simple with the bag sitting in the opening of the filtration system using a sturdy ring. This can make bag filtration a good choice where the technology fits the user’s application needs and where the ease of installation is required. The main job of the bag filter happens at the point of water entry into the system and it acts to lessen the degree of sand, silt, dirt and other forms of sediment that are present in the water. Some models on the market come with particularly small micron ratings that can be used to filter out a certain amount of particulates, however, they will not remove bacteria or chemicals, such as chloramines. Additional water treatment systems are needed to remove both chemicals and unwanted bacteria.
