It is the first stage: sand, silt, rust, and scale are trapped here so they do not clog the carbon block or scratch the RO membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibre is thermally bonded virgin polypropylene. Density is graded, so coarser dirt sits on the outside and finer grit toward the core. No binders or resins that can leach into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds more dirt than a thin surface pad, with less pressure drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMembrane:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stops abrasive particles before the RO element.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard 10-inch drop-in housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every 3–6 months, or sooner if the incoming water is dirty or pressure falls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWater and system compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treats municipal tap water.
