10" Jumbo 20 Micron Pleated Water Filter Cartridge

Keep sediment under control without sacrificing water flow.

This 10" Jumbo 20 micron pleated water filter cartridge is designed to capture sediment and suspended particles from your water supply while maintaining strong flow through the system.

The large pleated surface area helps hold more dirt than a flat filter media design, making this cartridge well suited to whole-house and general water filtration applications.

Choose Standard Waimana for reliable everyday filtration at up to 60 L/min, or Premium Davey Microlene for higher-flow performance at up to 94 L/min.

Both cartridges are cleanable and reusable, helping extend service life and reduce replacement frequency.

Product Options

Standard — Waimana 10PL20

A practical choice for everyday sediment filtration.

The Waimana 10PL20 uses food-grade pleated polypropylene media to filter sediment from potable cold water while maintaining a rated flow of up to 60 L/min.

Its pleated design provides a large filtration surface area, helping capture sediment while maintaining good water movement through the system.

The cartridge can be cleaned and reused, making it a strong option for residential and general-purpose water filtration.

Choose Standard when you want dependable 20 micron sediment filtration and 60 L/min gives you the flow your system requires.

Premium — Davey Microlene 20PP10J

The Davey Microlene 20PP10J is designed for applications where higher flow performance matters.

Its high-surface-area polyester pleated media provides:

• 94 L/min rated flow
• High dirt-holding ability
• Low pressure drop
• Cleanable and reusable filtration
• Strong performance in higher-demand and lower-pressure applications

The Davey pleated design combines strong flow with the ability to hold sediment efficiently, making it a good upgrade for systems where water demand is higher.

Why Choose This Water Filter Cartridge?

• 20 micron sediment filtration — captures suspended sediment and particulate matter from the water supply.
• 10" Jumbo format — gives you a larger filtration area for stronger flow and greater dirt-holding capacity.
• Pleated filter media — increases the amount of filtration surface area inside the cartridge.
• Reusable design — both options can be cleaned and reused to extend cartridge life.
• 60 L/min Standard option — well suited to everyday residential filtration.
• 94 L/min Premium option — ideal where higher flow is required.
• Easy choice between two performance levels — choose based on your flow requirements and budget.

How It Works

Water passes through the pleated filter media, where sediment is captured before the water continues through the rest of the filtration system.

The 20 micron rating makes this cartridge ideal for removing larger suspended particles and sediment.

Because the media is pleated, more filtration material can fit inside the cartridge. This creates more surface area for sediment capture while helping maintain water flow.

The Premium Davey cartridge takes this further with a design focused on high flow, high dirt-holding ability and low pressure drop.

Best Suited For

This cartridge is well suited to:

• Whole-house water filtration
• Tank water systems
• Rainwater systems
• Domestic water filtration
• Drinking water filtration
• Sediment prefiltration
• Prefiltration before finer cartridges
• Prefiltration ahead of reverse osmosis systems
• Commercial and light industrial water filtration

The Davey Premium cartridge is also suitable for applications including beverage production, mineral-water bottling, laboratory use and food-industry filtration. It is particularly useful in lower-pressure systems such as roof-water and header-tank applications.

Key Specifications

Standard vs Premium — Which Should I Choose?

Choose Standard Waimana if you want:

• Reliable 20 micron sediment filtration
• 60 L/min rated flow
• Food-grade pleated polypropylene media
• A cleanable and reusable cartridge
• Good everyday performance for residential water filtration
• A cost-effective replacement cartridge

For most general water filtration applications, Standard offers excellent performance without paying for flow capacity you may not need.

Choose Premium Davey if you want:

• Higher 94 L/min rated flow
• Greater dirt-holding ability
• Low pressure drop
• Cleanable and reusable polyester pleated media
• Stronger performance in higher-demand systems
• A better option for low-pressure or higher-flow applications

The main reason to move to Premium is flow performance. Both cartridges provide reusable 20 micron pleated sediment filtration, while the Davey offers significantly higher rated flow.

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 instructions supplied with your filter housing and water filtration system.

Maintenance

Cartridge life depends on water quality, sediment loading and water usage.

Clean the cartridge when sediment build-up starts to reduce water flow, and replace it when cleaning no longer restores satisfactory performance.

Standard — Waimana

The Waimana cartridge can be cleaned and reused.

For ongoing performance, replace the cartridge around every 12 months or sooner if water quality or flow noticeably reduces.

Premium — Davey Microlene

The Davey cartridge can be cleaned under a tap or with gentle hosing when flow becomes restricted.

Davey recommends cleaning when the flow rate becomes too low or when head loss reaches 15 psi. The cartridge can be reused several times before replacement is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 20 micron mean?

A 20 micron filter is designed to capture sediment and suspended particles from the water as it passes through the cartridge.

It is commonly used as a first-stage sediment filter or as general-purpose filtration where larger particles need to be removed before the water reaches finer filtration stages.

What's the difference between Standard and Premium?

The biggest difference is flow rate.

The Standard Waimana is rated at 60 L/min, while the Premium Davey is rated at 94 L/min.

Both cartridges are pleated, cleanable and reusable.

Which option should I choose?

Choose Standard Waimana for general residential sediment filtration where 60 L/min is sufficient.

Choose Premium Davey when you need more flow capacity, lower pressure drop or stronger performance in a higher-demand system.

What is the flow rate?

Standard Waimana: 60 L/min

Premium Davey Microlene: 94 L/min

Actual system flow will also depend on water pressure, plumbing, filter housing and sediment loading.

Can I clean and reuse these cartridges?

Yes. Both options are cleanable and reusable.

Cleaning accumulated sediment can help restore flow and extend the useful life of the cartridge.

How often should I replace the Waimana cartridge?

A good replacement interval is around 12 months, or sooner if water flow or filtration performance noticeably reduces.

Can I use this filter for rainwater?

Yes. These cartridges are well suited to sediment filtration in water systems where suspended particles need to be removed.

The Premium Davey cartridge is particularly useful in roof-water and lower-pressure applications.

Will this fit a 10" Jumbo housing?

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