HFU660GF050H13 Water Treatment Filter Cartridge

Product Introduction

The HFU660GF050H13 is a compact, high-efficiency industrial water treatment filter cartridge, meticulously crafted with premium glass fiber filter media and a reinforced structural design. Tailored for small-to-medium-scale water pre-filtration and fine filtration scenarios, this cartridge integrates exceptional dirt-holding capacity, stable filtration precision, and low energy consumption. It is engineered to effectively capture particulate contaminants while protecting downstream equipment such as reverse osmosis membranes, ion exchange resins, and precision pumps, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for industrial, commercial, and laboratory water purification systems.

Filtration Precision

The HFU660GF050H13 features a nominal filtration precision of 13 microns. The uniform, porous structure of its glass fiber media ensures consistent capture of suspended solids, sand particles, rust, colloidal substances, and other contaminants with a particle size of 13 microns and above. This precise screening capability prevents harmful particulates from entering subsequent water treatment processes, thus safeguarding the performance and longevity of core system components.

Flux

Under standard operating conditions (a temperature of 25℃ and an inlet pressure of 0.3 MPa), the HFU660GF050H13 delivers a rated flux of 50 L/min. Its optimized glass fiber media layout minimizes flow resistance, allowing for steady water throughput while maintaining strict filtration standards. This flux rate is ideally suited for small-to-medium-scale water treatment systems, including laboratory pure water preparation, small industrial boiler feedwater pretreatment, and commercial drinking water purification.

Salt Rejection Rate

As a particulate filtration cartridge, the HFU660GF050H13 is not designed for salt removal. Its core function is the physical separation of solid contaminants from water, rather than the rejection of dissolved salts or ions. Therefore, the product has a negligible salt rejection rate and should not be used as a substitute for reverse osmosis (RO) or nanofiltration (NF) membrane elements in desalination or deionization applications.

Pressure Drop

The initial pressure drop of the HFU660GF050H13 is less than 0.01 MPa when operating at the rated flux. As contaminants accumulate on the filter surface over time, the pressure drop will gradually rise. To maintain optimal system efficiency and avoid excessive energy consumption, it is recommended to clean or replace the cartridge once the pressure drop reaches 0.08 MPa.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

The HFU660GF050H13 operates based on a particle size-based screening mechanism, rather than molecular weight separation. The MWCO parameter is primarily applicable to membrane filtration products (e.g., ultrafiltration, microfiltration membranes) that separate substances according to their molecular size and structure. Thus, the HFU660GF050H13 does not have a specific molecular weight cutoff value.

Membrane Thickness

The glass fiber filter media layer of the HFU660GF050H13 has a thickness of 1.6 mm, which balances high filtration efficiency and excellent dirt-holding capacity. The composite structure, including the protective mesh layer and the rigid support layer, has an overall thickness of 3.8 mm. This robust design enhances the cartridge’s mechanical strength, preventing deformation or damage during backwashing, high-pressure operation, and long-term continuous use.

Replacement Cycle

The recommended replacement cycle of the HFU660GF050H13 ranges from 3 to 7 months, depending on the inlet water quality and operating conditions. In water environments with high suspended solid concentrations (exceeding 40 mg/L), the replacement cycle may be shortened to 1–2 months. For well-pretreatment water systems with low contaminant levels, the service life can be appropriately extended, but it should not exceed 7 months to prevent microbial growth, filter clogging, and secondary pollution.

Features

Compact and space-saving design: The small footprint makes it suitable for installation in confined spaces such as laboratory water treatment cabinets and small industrial equipment rooms.
High dirt-holding capacity: The porous glass fiber media can trap a large volume of contaminants, extending the service life of the cartridge and reducing maintenance frequency.
Low initial pressure drop: The optimized media structure minimizes energy consumption, lowering the overall operating cost of the water treatment system.
Stable filtration precision: The 13-micron nominal precision ensures consistent particulate removal, protecting downstream equipment from wear and performance degradation.
Easy maintenance: The standardized size design allows for quick replacement without specialized tools, improving the maintenance efficiency of the system.

Application Fields

Laboratory water purification: Used in the pre-filtration stage of distilled water and ultrapure water preparation systems to remove particulate contaminants and protect precision filtration membranes.
Small industrial boiler feedwater pretreatment: Applied to remove suspended solids from boiler feedwater, preventing scaling and corrosion of boiler tubes and extending equipment service life.
Commercial drinking water systems: Utilized in water dispensers, small-scale bottled water production lines, and office drinking water purification systems to improve water clarity and taste.
Electronics industry: Employed in the pre-filtration of rinse water for electronic component cleaning, ensuring that particulate contaminants do not affect product quality.
Pharmaceutical laboratory water treatment: Suitable for the pre-filtration of purified water used in drug research and small-batch drug production, meeting strict laboratory water quality requirements.

Conclusion

The HFU660GF050H13 water treatment filter cartridge is a high-quality, compact particulate filtration product that excels in precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness. It is specifically designed to address the challenges of solid contaminant removal in small-to-medium-scale water treatment systems, effectively protecting downstream equipment and improving overall water quality. While it lacks salt rejection and molecular weight cutoff capabilities, its outstanding particulate filtration performance and space-saving design make it an ideal choice for laboratories, small industrial facilities, and commercial drinking water systems.
