HydroLogic® TALLBoy® Poly-Spun Sediment Filter - 20in x 2.5in - 5 Micron - Single Use

HydroLogic® TALLBoy® Poly-Spun Sediment Filter - 5-Micron Pre-Filter for System & Membrane Protection

The HydroLogic® TALLBoy® Poly-Spun Sediment Filter is a single-use, 5-micron melt-blown polypropylene sediment pre-filter engineered for use with TALLBoy® water filtration systems. Capturing silt, rust, dirt, sand, and other suspended solids at a 5-micron level, this filter protects downstream filtration components — including RO pumps and membranes — from particulate damage and premature fouling. Sized for TALLBoy® filter housings.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5-micron melt-blown filtration: Melt-blown polypropylene construction provides consistent, reliable 5-micron particle capture throughout the depth of the filter media — not just at the surface.
• Protects downstream components: Capturing sediment, rust, silt, and dirt before they reach RO membranes, pumps, and other precision components extends equipment service life and reduces maintenance costs.
• System-specific sizing: Dimensioned for exact compatibility with TALLBoy® filter housings — 20in x 2.5in for correct fitment and seal.
• Replace per system schedule.
• Single-use design: Poly-spun filters are not cleanable — replace on schedule to maintain consistent 5-micron filtration performance.

Who Should Use This

Required replacement filter for TALLBoy® system operators. Consistent sediment pre-filter replacement is essential for maintaining downstream component protection and overall system performance.

Compatibility

For use with HydroLogic® TALLBoy® systems. Replace per system schedule. Dimensions: 20in x 2.5in. Single use — not cleanable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this poly-spun filter be cleaned and reused?

No — poly-spun melt-blown sediment filters are single-use only. Unlike pleated sediment filters, they cannot be effectively cleaned. Replace on the recommended schedule to maintain filtration performance.

What is the difference between melt-blown and pleated sediment filters?

Melt-blown polypropylene filters trap particles throughout the depth of the fiber matrix (depth filtration), while pleated filters capture debris primarily on the surface. Depth filtration provides high dirt-holding capacity for consistent performance over the filter's service life.

What does 5 micron mean?

A 5-micron filter captures particles 5 micrometers (0.005 mm) in diameter and larger — removing fine silt, rust particles, and suspended solids that would be invisible to the naked eye but can damage precision components and clog irrigation emitters.
