Growonix Pleated Sediment Filter - 4.5 x 20-in - 10 Micron

Keep Particles Out of Your Water Line - 20 In Cartridge

Sand, silt and rust flakes in source water clog emitters, foul pumps and shorten the life of downstream filtration. This pleated sediment cartridge catches those particles at the start of the line. Its pleated polyester media and 10 micron rating give it a broad surface for trapping debris.

This is a single full-length cartridge, a practical replacement for growers who run a compatible Growonix system and want to keep a spare on the shelf. Small indoor setups and larger operations can both order one at a time as needed.

Key Features & Benefits

• 10 micron rating — captures fine suspended sediment before it reaches downstream equipment.
• Pleated non-woven polyester — pleating adds surface area for holding particles.
• 4.5 x 20 in body — a full-length cartridge format for housings of this size.
• Wide operating temperature range — suits cool and warm water supplies, from 40°F to 125°F.
• Listed system fit — the manufacturer lists it for several Growonix units.

Who Should Use Growonix Pleated Sediment Filter

Growers with a compatible Growonix water treatment system who need a replacement cartridge, and anyone adding a pre-filter stage to protect hydroponic equipment from sediment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a 10 micron rating mean?
A: It describes the size of particles the filter is designed to catch. A micron is one millionth of a meter, so 10 micron media traps fine sand, silt and rust.

Q: Which systems does it fit?
A: The manufacturer lists the EX600, EX1000, GX600, GX1000, Lil Boss and Lil Boss Deluxe. Check your housing size before ordering.

Q: What is the maximum flow rate?
A: The manufacturer lists a maximum of 20 GPM. Staying within that rating helps the cartridge perform as intended.

Q: How is a pleated filter different from a spun one?
A: Pleated media folds the material to expose more surface area for trapping particles. Spun filters are wound from fibers and capture particles through their depth.

Q: What water temperatures can it handle?
A: The listed operating range is 40°F to 125°F. Keep your supply within that range.

Q: How many come in an order?
A: One cartridge. It is sold each.
