More surface area means more capacity to hold sediment before the filter restricts flow — so it tends to last longer between cleanings on high-sediment supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I actually wash and reuse it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. When flow drops or the cartridge is visibly dirty, remove it from the housing, rinse it under a hose or tap, and refit. How many times you can do this depends on water quality — fine silts tend to embed in the pleats more than coarser sand. Replace the cartridge when rinsing no longer restores adequate flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich micron rating is right for my supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarser ratings (20 or 50 micron) suit first stage pre-filtration on bore, river, or surface water with visible sediment. Finer ratings (1 or 5 micron) suit second stage or final stage filtration, or where you need to protect downstream equipment such as a UV lamp. If you run two housings in series, use the coarser rating in the first housing and the finer rating in the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my Big Blue housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your housing is a standard Jumbo (Big Blue) 10\" or 20\" size. Both cartridge lengths are 4.5\" in diameter, which is the Jumbo \/ Big Blue standard. Check your housing length before ordering — 10\" and 20\" cartridges are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this on bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The polyester material handles bore water well. If your bore water has a high sediment load, the 20 or 50 micron rating is a good starting point for first stage filtration. Bore water quality varies — get in touch if you'd like help choosing the right setup for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff3cd;border:1px solid #ffc107;border-radius:8px;padding:16px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#856404;\"\u003e⚠️ Disclaimer – Collective \/ Dropship Product\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:14px;color:#856404;\"\u003eThis product is supplied \u0026amp; shipped directly by the brand via Shopify Collective.
