Harmsco One Micron Absolute Cartridges

Cartridges are not reusable.

One micron absolute rated cartridges for Cryptosporidium & Giardia Cysts removal.

Poly-pleat cartridges are designed for drinking water applications to remove Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts and when one micron absolute rated filtration is required. Absolute rated Poly-Pleat cartridges meet or exceed the three-log (99.9%) removal requirements for cyst reduction and are certified effective by independent testing.

Cartridges are rated for temperatures to 140°F(60°C). Polypropylene filter media offers compatibility with many aggressive chemicals.

Poly-Pleat cartridges are certified to ANSI-NSF61.

Independent Lab Validated

To demonstrate the performance of POLY-PLEATÔ cartridges and HARMSCO filter housings, Analytical Services, Inc., a highly respected independent testing facility, was selected to conduct challenge studies using live organisms. The challenge system was composed of a reservoir, pump, static mixer, pressure gauges and challenge bleed–off assembly. The test protocol has been reviewed and approved by leading states in the country and is considered the most stringent method used for cyst reduction testing. The protocol includes two separate spikes on two different but identical test filters using live Giardia lamblia cysts and Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst. An initial Giardia/Cryptosporidium spike is performed early in the filter run to document the filter’s efficiency. After injection of the challenge organisms, test samples are collected in two phases during an uninterrupted 36hour run. During the first sampling phase of 1-18hours, calibrated side-stream samples were collected from both the influent and the effluent of the test filter. Because no cysts are injected during the second phase, only effluent samples are collected during the 19-36 hour test period. Results of the 19-36 hour challenge tests are as follows:
