10" Jumbo 1 Micron Polyspun Water Filter Cartridge

Step up to finer sediment filtration with a 10" Jumbo 1 micron polyspun water filter cartridge designed to capture very fine suspended particles while still maintaining useful flow through a high-capacity Jumbo housing.

The polyspun construction uses layers of food-grade polypropylene fibres to create depth filtration throughout the cartridge, helping trap sediment across the media rather than only on the surface.

Choose Standard Waimana for dependable 1 micron filtration at up to 50 L/min, or Premium Davey Microlene for higher-flow performance at up to 75 L/min and a documented >99% Cryptosporidium cyst removal rating for the 1 micron cartridge.

Product Options

Standard — Waimana 10PP01

The Waimana 10PP01 is a fine sediment cartridge designed for potable cold-water filtration.

Its food-grade polypropylene polyspun media filters down to 1 micron while providing a rated flow of up to 50 L/min.

The depth-style construction helps capture fine suspended particles throughout the filter media, making it a strong choice where finer sediment removal is needed before water moves further through the filtration system.

Choose Standard when you want reliable 1 micron filtration and 50 L/min provides enough flow for your application.

Premium — Davey Microlene 1PS10J

The Davey Microlene 1PS10J is designed for finer filtration with higher flow capacity.

Its polypropylene spun-melt construction consists of thousands of interlocked, thermally bonded fibres. This helps keep the filter structure stable as flow and pressure change, while providing clean filtration without gaskets, binders, fillers, loose fibres, a centre core or surfactants.

The Premium Davey provides:

• 75 L/min rated flow
• 1 micron filtration
• >99% Cryptosporidium cyst removal rating
• Food-grade polypropylene construction
• Thermally bonded fibre structure
• Maximum operating temperature of 63°C
• Strong suitability for drinking water and other high-purity applications

Why Choose This Water Filter Cartridge?

• Fine 1 micron filtration — captures much smaller suspended particles than a coarser sediment cartridge.
• 10" Jumbo format — gives you more filter media and flow capacity than a standard-diameter cartridge.
• Polyspun depth filtration — traps sediment throughout the cartridge media.
• 50 L/min Standard option — practical fine filtration for everyday water systems.
• 75 L/min Premium option — more flow for higher-demand applications.
• Food-grade polypropylene media — suited to potable-water filtration.
• Premium Cryptosporidium performance — the Davey 1 micron cartridge carries a >99% cyst removal rating.

How It Works

Polyspun cartridges use a depth-filtration structure rather than a pleated surface.

Water passes through layers of bonded polypropylene fibres, with suspended sediment captured at different depths throughout the cartridge.

This makes 1 micron polyspun filtration well suited to removing finer particulate matter and polishing water after coarser sediment stages.

The Davey cartridge uses thousands of thermally bonded fibres, helping the media remain stable as water flow and pressure change.

Best Suited For

This 10" Jumbo 1 micron water filter cartridge is well suited to:

• Whole-house water filtration
• Fine sediment removal
• Drinking water filtration
• Tank water systems
• Rainwater systems
• Bore and groundwater systems
• Final sediment polishing
• Prefiltration ahead of finer treatment stages
• Prefiltration ahead of reverse osmosis
• Beverage and food-industry applications
• Laboratory and high-purity water applications

The Premium Davey cartridge is particularly strong where finer filtration and higher flow need to be combined.

Key Specifications

Standard vs Premium — Which Should I Choose?

Choose Standard Waimana if you want:

• Reliable 1 micron fine sediment filtration
• 50 L/min rated flow
• Food-grade polypropylene media
• A practical Jumbo cartridge for potable cold water
• Fine filtration at a lower price point

For general residential fine filtration, Standard gives you the key benefit of 1 micron depth filtration without paying for extra flow capacity.

Choose Premium Davey if you want:

• Higher 75 L/min rated flow
• Fine 1 micron sediment removal
• >99% Cryptosporidium cyst removal rating
• Thermally bonded polypropylene fibres
• Higher maximum operating temperature of 63°C
• A cartridge suited to drinking water, beverage, food, laboratory and other low-contamination applications

The main Premium advantage is the combination of higher flow plus documented fine-filtration performance.

Installation

This cartridge is designed for use in a compatible 10" Jumbo water filter housing.

To replace the cartridge:

1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Release pressure from the filter housing.
3. Remove the filter housing sump.
4. Remove the existing cartridge.
5. Clean the housing if required.
6. Check that the O-ring is clean and seated correctly.
7. Insert the new cartridge.
8. Reassemble the housing.
9. Slowly restore water pressure.
10. Check the housing for leaks.

Always follow the installation instructions supplied with your filter housing and filtration system.

Maintenance

Polyspun cartridges are designed as replaceable depth filters rather than cleanable cartridges.

Their service life depends on the level of suspended solids in the water and overall water usage.

Standard — Waimana

Replace around every 12 months, or sooner if water quality or flow noticeably reduces.

Premium — Davey Microlene

Replace when the cartridge becomes loaded with sediment or flow performance declines.

Davey recommends replacement every 12 months, with actual lifespan depending on suspended-solids loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 micron mean?

A 1 micron filter cartridge is designed to capture very fine suspended particles from the water.

It provides significantly finer filtration than 5, 20 or 50 micron sediment cartridges, making it useful as a polishing stage or where finer particulate removal is required.

What's the difference between Standard and Premium?

The main differences are flow rate and documented filtration performance.

The Standard Waimana is rated at 50 L/min, while the Premium Davey is rated at 75 L/min.

The Davey 1 micron cartridge also carries a >99% Cryptosporidium cyst removal rating.

Which option should I choose?

Choose Standard Waimana for general 1 micron fine sediment filtration where 50 L/min is enough.

Choose Premium Davey if you want more flow capacity or the added reassurance of its documented Cryptosporidium cyst removal rating.

What is the flow rate?

Standard Waimana: 50 L/min

Premium Davey Microlene: 75 L/min

Actual system flow will also depend on water pressure, filter housing, plumbing and how much sediment has accumulated in the cartridge.

Can I clean and reuse these cartridges?

No. Polyspun cartridges are designed as replaceable depth filters.

Once the media becomes loaded with sediment and flow performance drops, replace the cartridge.

How often should I replace the cartridge?

A good guide is every 12 months, or sooner where sediment loading causes noticeable flow reduction or filtration performance decline.

Does the Davey cartridge remove Cryptosporidium?

The 1 micron Davey Microlene polyspun cartridge has a Cryptosporidium cyst removal rating of greater than 99%.

Can I use this as a final sediment filter?

Yes. A 1 micron polyspun cartridge is well suited to fine sediment polishing, especially after a coarser sediment stage has already removed larger particles.

Will this fit a 10" Jumbo housing?

Yes. This product is designed for a compatible 10" Jumbo water filter housing.
