Triple gradient filtration technology is a type of filtration technology used in polyspun filters, which are commonly used in water filtration systems. This technology uses three layers of filter media with different pore sizes to remove particles and impurities from water.

The first layer is typically made of a coarse filter media, which captures larger particles such as sediment and rust. The second layer is made of a finer filter media, which captures smaller particles such as sand and silt. The third and final layer is made of an even finer filter media, which captures microscopic particles such as bacteria and viruses.

By using three layers of filter media with different pore sizes, triple gradient filtration technology is able to remove a wide range of impurities from water, providing clean and safe drinking water. Additionally, polyspun filters are generally very durable and have a long lifespan, making them a popular choice for water filtration systems in homes and businesses.

The frequency of replacing your 10″ x 4.5″ polyspun sediment filter depends on several factors such as the quality of your water supply, the amount of water used, and the level of filtration required.

In general, it is recommended to replace polyspun sediment filters every 6-12 months or after filtering approximately 10,000 to 15,000 gallons of water. However, if you notice a decrease in water flow rate or a decrease in water quality, such as a change in taste, odor, or color, it may be necessary to replace the filter more frequently.

It is also important to regularly monitor the condition of your polyspun sediment filter and replace it when it becomes clogged or dirty. Clogged filters can reduce the efficiency of your water filtration system and lead to bacterial growth, which can compromise the quality of your drinking water.

Manufacturers recommend to perform regular maintenance and monitoring of your water filtration system to ensure that it is operating properly and providing clean and safe drinking water.
