Deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge: Filter cartridge for removing impurities from landscape water, swimming pool water, and aquaculture water

Deep Filtration PP Wound Filter Cartridge

Product Introduction

This deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge is a specialized high-efficiency filtration component engineered for the thorough impurity removal of landscape water, swimming pool water and aquaculture water, designed to adapt to the unique water quality characteristics and filtration demands of these open and semi-open water systems. Crafted from high-purity polypropylene (PP) resin via a precision multi-layer spiral winding process on a sturdy rigid PP inner support core, it forms a dense three-dimensional deep filtration structure with gradient pore size distribution from the outside to the inside. Unlike conventional surface filtration cartridges, this product achieves deep interception of impurities—capturing particulates not only on the surface but also within the internal filtration layer, which greatly enhances impurity holding capacity and filtration efficiency. It is free of adhesives, toxic additives and heavy metals, ensuring no secondary pollution to the water body and complying with the environmental and aquatic safety requirements of landscape, swimming pool and aquaculture scenarios. Compatible with standard 10/20/30/40-inch industrial filter housings with single and multi-core designs, it features easy installation, simple maintenance and stable structural performance under continuous operation, serving as a core filtration component for purifying non-potable water systems and improving water clarity, hygiene and ecological quality.

Filtration Precision

Tailored to the impurity types and particle size characteristics of landscape water, swimming pool water and aquaculture water, the filtration precision of this deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge is available in industry-adapted specifications of 20 μm, 30 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm and 100 μm, with 30 μm and 50 μm being the most commonly used standard specifications for comprehensive deep filtration. This precision range is scientifically designed to target the main harmful impurities in these water bodies, including suspended silt, algae particles, organic debris, hair and fiber impurities in swimming pool water, feed residues and aquatic animal excrements in aquaculture water, as well as dust and sediment accumulated in landscape water. The gradient pore size deep filtration structure ensures that impurities of different particle sizes are intercepted step by step in different layers of the cartridge, avoiding rapid surface blockage and realizing efficient and sustainable deep impurity removal, which perfectly balances filtration efficiency and water flow demand for open water systems.

Flux

Under the standard operating conditions of 25℃ ambient temperature and 0.2MPa inlet pressure, the nominal flux of this deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge is customized according to its specification to meet the large-flow filtration demands of landscape, swimming pool and aquaculture water systems: the 10-inch model reaches 12-20 L/min, 20-inch model 25-35 L/min, 30-inch model 45-60 L/min and 40-inch model 70-90 L/min. For the same specification, the flux varies slightly with filtration precision: the 20 μm and 30 μm high-precision models have a slightly lower flux, while the 50 μm, 80 μm and 100 μm models feature a higher and more stable large flux. The ultra-large flux design is fully adapted to the high water volume and continuous circulation filtration characteristics of swimming pools, large landscape water bodies and aquaculture ponds, ensuring sufficient water circulation and supply while maintaining efficient deep impurity removal, and avoiding the problem of low filtration efficiency caused by insufficient flux in large-scale water circulation systems.

Salt Rejection Rate

As a physical deep filtration component dedicated to removing insoluble particulate impurities from landscape water, swimming pool water and aquaculture water, this PP wound filter cartridge is only designed for particle size-based interception of solid contaminants and has no ion separation, desalination or salt rejection functional design. Therefore, it has no salt rejection rate index. All dissolved inorganic salts, mineral ions, water treatment agent components (such as swimming pool disinfectants and aquaculture water regulators) and small molecule soluble substances in the water can pass through the cartridge body smoothly. This functional positioning is highly consistent with the core demand of filtration for these non-potable water systems—removing harmful particulates without changing the soluble ion composition and chemical balance of the water body, ensuring the normal growth of aquatic organisms in aquaculture water and the stable effect of water treatment agents in swimming pool and landscape water.

Pressure Drop

The initial pressure drop of a new deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge under the standard nominal flux and 25℃ operating temperature is ≤0.035MPa for all specifications, which is far lower than the pressure drop limit of landscape, swimming pool and aquaculture water circulation filtration systems, ensuring minimal pressure loss in the water circulation link and reducing the energy consumption of water circulation pumps. With the continuous operation of the filtration system, as impurities are deeply intercepted and accumulated in the internal and surface layers of the cartridge body, the pressure drop will gradually rise in a slow and stable manner (a unique advantage of deep filtration structure over surface filtration). The recommended maximum operating pressure drop of this cartridge is 0.2MPa for all specifications; when the pressure drop reaches this value, the cartridge must be cleaned or replaced in time to avoid excessive pressure loss in the water circulation system, which will lead to reduced water circulation speed, decreased filtration efficiency and increased energy consumption of circulation pumps.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

This deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge adopts a pure physical filtration mechanism based on particle size interception, with its core filtration principle focusing on the physical capture of solid particulates of specific sizes rather than the separation of substances according to molecular weight and molecular size—this is fundamentally different from ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane components with MWCO characteristics. Therefore, it has no specific Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO) index. Its interception effect is only aimed at insoluble solid particulate impurities with particle sizes larger than its set filtration precision; macromolecular organic substances, soluble colloids and other dissolved macromolecular substances in landscape, swimming pool and aquaculture water can pass through the cartridge body smoothly as long as their actual particle size is smaller than the filtration precision, which fully meets the filtration demand of non-potable water systems that only need to remove particulate impurities without separating dissolved macromolecular substances.

Membrane Thickness

The effective PP deep filtration layer thickness of this filter cartridge is specially thickened and optimized according to its specification and the deep filtration demand, with the 10-inch model at 8-12mm, 20-inch model at 12-16mm, 30-inch model at 16-20mm and 40-inch model at 20-25mm—all thicker than conventional PP wound filter cartridges. The total outer diameter of all specifications is the industry standard 70mm/90mm, perfectly matching the internal size of standard large-flow filter housings for landscape, swimming pool and aquaculture water systems. The ultra-thick effective filtration layer is the core of the deep filtration structure, which not only provides an ultra-large impurity holding capacity to delay the rise of pressure drop and greatly reduce the frequency of cleaning and replacement, but also forms a multi-layer gradient pore size filtration structure to intercept impurities of different particle sizes step by step in different layers, realizing the true deep filtration of the water body. The inner support core is made of high-strength rigid PP material with a thickness of 4-6mm (matching the specification), with a honeycomb reinforced structure, which can withstand the operating pressure of 0.8MPa without deformation or rupture, fully adapting to the pressure fluctuation characteristics of water circulation systems during continuous operation.

Replacement Cycle

The recommended replacement cycle of this deep filtration PP wound filter cartridge is determined by its specification and the actual water quality and impurity content of the application scenario: for 10/20-inch models used in small landscape water bodies (residential community flower ponds, small swimming pools) and small-scale aquaculture tanks, the standard replacement cycle is 3-5 months; for 30/40-inch models applied in large landscape water bodies (urban parks, commercial plazas), large swimming pools (gyms, public aquatic centers) and large-scale aquaculture ponds (fish/shrimp/crab breeding bases), the standard cycle is 4-8 months. The actual replacement cycle is closely related to the impurity content and water circulation frequency: for aquaculture water with high feed residue and excrement content, and swimming pool water with high passenger flow, the cycle is shortened by 1-2 months; for landscape water with low human interference and relatively clean water quality, the cycle can be appropriately extended. In addition, the deep filtration structure supports repeated physical backwashing with clean water or low-pressure air, which can remove most of the accumulated impurities and extend the replacement cycle of the cartridge by 1-3 months under the premise of ensuring filtration efficiency. Once the system pressure drop reaches 0.2MPa, the cartridge must be replaced immediately regardless of the actual use time to ensure the normal operation of the water circulation filtration system.
