AquaticLife Twist-In Sediment Filter – Quick Installation Sediment Cartridge

AquaticLife Twist-In Sediment Filter Cartridge

The AquaticLife Twist-In sediment filter cartridge is the first line of defense for a reef aquarium's RO/DI system. Designed for AquaticLife Twist-In systems, it captures sand, sediment, rust, metal debris, and suspended particles before they impact subsequent media or the RO membrane. Ultra-fast, tool-free installation is achieved with the Twist-In system, followed by simple replacement in seconds.

This cartridge uses a spun polypropylene media effective down to 5 microns , housed in a translucent casing that allows you to see the filter's condition and easily know when to replace it. The manufacturer indicates a typical replacement every 3 to 6 months or after approximately 2,500 gallons of treated water, providing a clear maintenance baseline for regular use.

🔄 Recommended replacement

Every 3 to 6 months or after approximately 2,500 gallons of treated water

💡 Usage recommendations

• Replace every 3 to 6 months, or depending on the amount of water produced and the turbidity of the source water. If the incoming water is particularly sediment-laden, bring forward the replacement interval to keep the rest of the system cleaner.
• Use in stage 1 of filtration before carbon media and RO membrane to optimize the performance and lifespan of these more expensive stages.
• Keep a few spare cartridges for immediate replacement, especially if the unit is used to regularly produce reverse osmosis water for corals or other sensitive invertebrates.
