The Metabo 1" pitcher water filter is a robust solution designed for effective water purification in domestic and light industrial settings. Constructed from high-quality, durable nylon and plastic, this filter features a blue transparent housing that allows for easy visual monitoring of the filter element's condition. Its compact dimensions of 120 x 310 x 120 mm ensure it can be integrated into various plumbing configurations without requiring excessive space, providing a reliable barrier against impurities to maintain water quality.
Advantages
This filter offers significant benefits through its washable filter insert, which is equipped with a high-performance nylon fabric rated at 80 microns. This design choice eliminates the need for frequent replacements, as the insert can be cleaned and reused multiple times, making it a cost-effective and environmentally conscious choice. The durable construction ensures long-term resistance to pressure and wear, while the transparent casing provides immediate feedback on when maintenance is required, ensuring consistent performance and protection for downstream equipment.
Suitable for
- Filtering water in residential plumbing systems
- Protecting pumps and irrigation systems from sand and debris
- Removing solid matter from well water
- General water purification tasks in home workshops
When it may not be suitable
This filter is not designed to remove chemical contaminants, heavy metals, or dissolved minerals from the water supply. It is strictly intended for mechanical filtration of solid particles and will not improve the taste or odor of water if those issues are caused by chemical or biological factors.

How to use
Installation should be performed by connecting the filter to the water line using the 1-inch threaded ports. Ensure the flow direction matches the arrow indicated on the housing.

Once clean, reinsert the filter element and securely tighten the housing to prevent leaks.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your pipe diameter matches the 1-inch connection size
- Ensure the 80-micron filtration level is sufficient for your specific water quality needs
- Confirm there is enough physical space for the 120 x 310 x 120 mm unit
- Check that the water pressure in your system does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended limits
Usage recommendations
Regular inspection of the filter insert is recommended, especially in areas with high sand content, to prevent flow restriction and maintain optimal water pressure throughout your system.
