Water foam filter 20µ wessper WES6009, 20 micron particulate filtration

wessper WES6009 is a foam water filter element with a 20 µm (20 micron) pore size designed for particulate filtration in water treatment systems. The foam structure captures suspended solids, sand, rust particles and other debris to reduce turbidity and protect downstream components. This element is suitable for use as a pre-filter or as a protective stage ahead of pumps, membranes and cartridge filters, helping to extend the service life of finer filtration stages.

Advantages

The open-cell foam construction provides consistent 20 µm particulate retention with low initial pressure drop, enabling effective removal of fine suspended matter while maintaining flow. The washable design allows for multiple reuses after cleaning, reducing operating costs and downtime. Compatibility with common foam filter housings and standard form factors makes replacement straightforward. The material resists typical freshwater contaminants and is lightweight for easy handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration in domestic and industrial water treatment systems
• Protecting pumps, cartridges and membranes from particulate damage
• Filtration of surface water intakes, wells and irrigation systems
• Removing sand, rust and suspended solids from process water

Key specifications

• Pore size: 20 µm (20 micron) foam structure
• Filter type: open-cell foam particulate filter element
• Function: mechanical/particulate filtration
• Typical application: pre-filtration and protection of downstream equipment
• Maintenance: washable and reusable with appropriate cleaning

How to use

Install the foam element into a compatible filter housing according to the housing manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper seating and sealing to avoid bypass. Operate within the hydraulic conditions recommended by the system to maintain low pressure drop and effective particulate capture. Inspect the element periodically and clean when pressure differential or flow reduction indicates fouling. To clean, rinse under running water or gently backwash until debris is removed; allow to dry before reinstalling if required by the system.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the WES6009 as an initial filtration stage upstream of finer cartridges or membranes. Monitor pressure drop across the element and establish a cleaning schedule based on water quality and operating hours. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or temperatures outside the housing manufacturer's specifications to preserve foam integrity.
