Product Introduction
This Pentair RFM high flow filter cartridge replacement is specially designed for industrial water pretreatment and liquid purification. As the core consumable of industrial water filter systems, this high flow filter cartridge can work together with self-cleaning filter to construct multi-stage pretreatment workflows. It effectively captures sediment, rust particles and suspended solids, minimizing particle load entering downstream RO membranes and precision filters. Our replacement cartridge adopts high-purity polypropylene radial pleated media, maintaining the same size, sealing structure and end cap design as the original Pentair RFM filter cartridge. No modification to the existing filter housing is required during installation. Multiple micron ratings are available from 1μm to 70μm. It keeps stable filtration efficiency and helps water treatment plants, chemical factories and food processing facilities cut annual spare part procurement expenses.
Working Principle
This Pentair RFM equivalent high flow filter cartridge adopts inside-to-outside flow path. Untreated raw liquid flows into the central inner core, then passes radially outward through multi-layer radial pleated filter media. Solid contaminants are trapped inside the pleats of filter media, and clean liquid flows out from the cartridge outer surface. The radial pleat design maximizes effective filtration area, bringing excellent dirt holding capacity and high liquid throughput. When paired with upstream self-cleaning filter, most coarse impurities are intercepted in advance, slowing differential pressure rise and extending the service life of the high flow filter cartridge.

Core Advantages
Direct Drop-In Replacement for Pentair RFM Series
Identical dimensions, end cap and sealing interface. Fits original filter housings without mechanical adjustment.
Radial Pleated Structure for High Dirt Holding Capacity
Special radial folding design greatly expands filtration area, traps large amounts of pollutants and prolongs filter service intervals.
High Flow Throughput
Optimized structure supports high liquid flow rate, reduces the required quantity of filter cartridges and lowers filter replacement labor cost.
Excellent Chemical Compatibility
Pure polypropylene media works well for most industrial raw water and neutral aqueous liquids.
Multiple Micron Options for RO Pre-treatment
Rich micron grade selections to meet different sediment protection requirements for RO membrane systems.
Compatible With Multi-stage Filtration System
Works cooperatively with industrial water filter and self-cleaning filter to build complete pretreatment chains and protect RO membranes.
Application Scenarios

Industrial raw water pretreatment and RO membrane pre-filtration
