Polypropylene Pleated Water Filters
Polypropylene pleated water filters are special filters made with a type of plastic called polypropylene, which is folded in a pleated design. These filters are commonly used to clean impurities like sediment, dirt, and other contaminants from water. They’re easy to install and quick to replace, making them a popular choice for many people who want to improve the quality of their drinking water.
The PPM series pleated filter cartridge combines the characteristics of deep filtration technology and pleating filter material to ensure that the filter cartridge has high dirt holding capacity and filtration area, especially suitable for filtration of high suspended particles, colloidal substances and high viscosity liquid.

A PP pleated water filter cartridge is a cost-effective, low-maintenance option for pre-filtration.
Contaminants commonly removed by PP pleated water filter cartridges:
- Sediment, rust, sand, dirt
- Microbial contaminants (bacteria, viruses, protozoa)
- Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers
- Heavy metals and general chemicals
Typical applications:
- Home, commercial, and industrial water filtration
- Laboratory and medical water filtration
When selecting a PP pleated cartridge, consider:
- The particle size that needs to be removed
- Water flow rate
- Water type and source chemistry
- Target service life
