Melt blown sediment filters remove dirt, grit, sand, rust and other sediment from your water.
They are used primarily for drinking and commercial water and have a high dirt holding capacity.
Available in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 micron ratings to fit a 10'' water filter housing.
Made of Melt Blown Polypropylene.
**Please note that your melt blown sediment filter may not always be branded Flow Pro.
You can tell if the seals start leaking, which is obvious, I know.
Even if there are no leaks you may find that the profile of the O ring becomes flattened because of prolonged time under compression. The cross section should be round and if it's not it may not seal easily.
However, I recommend that you replace the O rings every two or three years as a precautionary measure.
One of the main reasons for changing O rings periodically is that as they age and compress, the housing bowl needs to be tightened excessively. That leads to difficulty loosening the bowl from the cap next time the cartridge needs to be replaced.
