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

HydroLogic TALLBoy Poly-Spun Sediment Filter -- 5-Micron Pre-Filter

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.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5-Micron Melt-Blown Filtration: Melt-blown polypropylene construction provides consistent 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 and pumps extends equipment service life.
• System-Specific Sizing: Dimensioned for exact compatibility with TALLBoy filter housings -- 20in x 2.5in for correct fitment and seal.
• Replacement Interval: Replace per your system's recommended schedule.
• Single-Use Design: Poly-spun filters are not cleanable -- replace on schedule to maintain consistent 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 your system's recommended schedule. Dimensions: 20in x 2.5in. Single use -- not cleanable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to replace this filter?

Replace per your system's recommended schedule. Watching for a noticeable flow reduction between scheduled changes is a good backup indicator.

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, so 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 size is this filter?

This filter measures 20in x 2.5in. It is sized specifically for TALLBoy housings, so confirm your housing dimensions before ordering.
