Trevoli 10 Inch Jumbo Polyspun Sediment Filter - 1, 5 & 10 Micron Options NZ

A genuine Trevoli polyspun sediment cartridge for 10 inch jumbo housings. Available in 1, 5, and 10 micron — all manufactured from 100% polypropylene using the melt-blown process, thermally bonded without binders or adhesives.

Designed to fit Big Blue and Big White jumbo housings. Ideal for the removal of sediment, silt, fines, some colour, and some organics. High contaminant holding capacity for longer life and lower pressure drop. When it's loaded, replace it — polyspun cartridges are not designed to be cleaned and reused.

Why choose Trevoli polyspun filters

• Depth filtration — traps particles throughout the full cartridge body for high contaminant holding capacity
• Thermally bonded — no binders or adhesives, 100% polypropylene throughout
• High contaminant holding capacity — longer life and lower pressure drop than surface-only filters
• Three micron options — choose the rating that matches your filtration stage
• Fits Big Blue and Big White 10 inch jumbo housings
• 100% PP compatibility — suitable for use with a wide range of fluids

How it works

Trevoli polyspun cartridges use the melt-blown process to form thermally bonded polypropylene fibres into a dense cylinder — no binders or adhesives involved. Water passes through the full depth of the cartridge from outside to inside, trapping particles throughout the body. This depth-loading design means the cartridge holds more contaminant before restricting flow.

Unlike pleated cartridges, polyspun cartridges are not designed to be cleaned and reused. When flow drops noticeably, replace the cartridge.

Choosing the right micron

1 micron — the finest option. Catches fine silt, clay particles, and very small sediment. Used as the final sediment stage before a UV chamber or carbon filter. Clogs faster in high-sediment water — pair with a coarser pre-filter.

5 micron — a mid-range option. Balances fine filtration with longer cartridge life. Suited to moderate sediment loads as a second or final sediment stage.

10 micron — a coarser option. Catches larger silt and sediment particles with a longer service life. Good as a first or only sediment stage in lower-sediment applications.

Technical specifications

Compatible with

Fits most 10 inch jumbo housings (10" x 4.5"), including Big Blue and Big White jumbo housings. Not suitable for 10 inch standard housings (2.5 inch diameter). Check your housing takes a 4.5 inch diameter cartridge before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Which micron rating should I choose?

1 micron gives the finest filtration and is typically used as the last sediment stage before a UV chamber — but it clogs faster in high-sediment water. 5 micron balances filtration quality with cartridge life. 10 micron is better suited to lower-sediment applications or as a first stage. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll help you choose.

How often do I need to replace it?

We recommend replacing every 6–12 months depending on your water quality and usage. In high-sediment water you may need to replace more frequently. The clearest sign is a drop in water pressure or flow rate.

Can I clean and reuse this cartridge?

No. Polyspun cartridges are not designed to be cleaned and reused. The fibres trap particles throughout the depth of the cartridge, and rinsing won't effectively restore flow. Replace when pressure drops.

Will it fit my housing?

It fits most 10 inch jumbo housings — 10 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter. Not suitable for standard 10 inch housings (2.5 inch diameter). Get in touch if you're not sure.

Do I need special tools to change the cartridge?

Just the housing wrench that came with your system. Shut off the water first, unscrew the housing, swap the cartridge, and reinstall.

What warranty applies?

Filter cartridges are consumables and don't carry a standard product warranty. If you receive a cartridge that is visibly damaged or defective on arrival, get in touch and we'll sort it out.
