Scale Armor Guard 5 Micron Prefilter

The ScaleArmor™ 5‑Micron Prefilter is a dual-function cartridge combining fine sediment filtration with anti-limescale protection. It's designed to prolong the life of downstream systems and prevent scale buildup in plumbing and appliances.

Key Features:

  • Dual-Function Filtration

    • Sediment Removal: Melt-blown polypropylene media captures particles as small as 5 microns.

    • Scale Prevention: Built-in polyphosphate core gradually releases inhibitors to prevent calcium and magnesium scale deposits.

  • High-Quality Construction

    • Made from FDA-compliant polypropylene, ensuring safe drinking water and no harmful additives.

  • Temperature Compatibility

    • Suitable for both hot and cold water systems, functioning up to 176 °F (80 °C).

  • Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan

    • Typically lasts around 12 months under average usage. After that, the cartridge can be easily replaced.

  • Versatile Sizing

    • Available in standard cartridge sizes, including 4.5″ x 20″, with other configurations like 2.5″ x 10″ and 4.5″ x 10″.

  • System Efficiency & Protection

    • Shields filters (like RO, UV, carbon) from sediment clogging and prevents scale buildup, improving longevity and reducing maintenance.
