Hongtek PET Series Polyester Pleated Filter Cartridges are constructed of pleated Polyester(PET) filter media, with central core and high-grade end cap. Polyester pleated cartridges have low pressure drop and high flow capacity. PET pleated cartridges are produced using 100% synthetic fibers, which are free of binders or adhesives, exhibiting highly effective retention efficiency. What’s more, they are washable and reusable commodiously.
Polyester pleated filter cartridges also called water replacement filters. The pleated design increases surface area and extends service life, making PET pleated cartridges to be one of the most economic options in water treatment.

Pressure Drop Rate for 10" Polyester Pleated Filter Cartridges
● Hongtek end cap is made of high quality Polyurethane, smooth surface is good for sealing, when others made of inferior glue and rough
● Hongtek PET pleated filters are tightening pleated with larger filtration area, when others are sparse pleated counts with less surface area
● The Pleated counts of Hongtek polyester pleated cartridges is equal or greater than 50, when low quality made less than 50 pleated counts
● Hongtek PET pleated cartridges have advanced outer netting to strengthen the whole construction, others don't make good neat outer netting
