Essential sediment pre-filter for HydroLogic Merlin-Garden Pro reverse osmosis systems. This first-stage filter captures particulates, dirt, rust, sand, and sediment before they reach your RO membrane—protecting your system and ensuring optimal performance for hydroponics, aquariums, and reef tanks.
Key Features
• First-Stage Protection – Removes sediment, dirt, rust, sand, and suspended solids • Membrane Protection – Prevents premature RO membrane fouling and extends system life • High Dirt Holding Capacity – Captures large volumes of particulates for extended filter life • Maintains Flow Rate – Designed to minimize pressure drop while maximizing filtration • Direct Fit Design – Engineered specifically for Merlin-Garden Pro RO systems
Why Sediment Pre-Filtration Matters
Sediment and particulates are the primary cause of premature RO membrane failure. This first-stage sediment filter acts as your system's first line of defense, capturing debris before it can clog or damage the expensive RO membrane downstream. Regular replacement ensures consistent flow rates, protects your investment, and maintains water purity.
Replacement Schedule
Replace the sediment filter when you notice reduced flow rate or increased system pressure, typically every 6-12 months depending on source water quality. High sediment loads may require more frequent replacement.
Compatibility
Designed for direct fit into HydroLogic Merlin-Garden Pro RO systems. This pre-filter is the critical first stage in your multi-stage water purification system.
Applications
• Merlin-Garden Pro reverse osmosis systems • Commercial hydroponics and grow operations • Large aquarium and reef tank systems • High-volume water purification applications • Well water and high-sediment municipal sources
