Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes sintered mesh cartridges better than filters?
Sintered mesh cartridges are better because they are made in a way that creates an rigid structure. This structure keeps the holes in the cartridge the same size even when there is a lot of pressure. Pleated filters are not as good because they can get squished or bent which makes them less effective at filtering. Sintered mesh cartridges can also handle high temperatures and harsh chemicals that would damage pleated filters.
2. How times can you clean these cartridges?
If you take care of sintered stainless steel cartridges they can be cleaned many times. They can usually be cleaned 50 to 100 times depending on what kind of dirt they are filtering out and how they are cleaned. In some cases they can even be cleaned than 200 times if they are cleaned just right.
3. What is the best way to clean these cartridges?
One way to clean them is to push filtered fluid through them which removes any dirt. Using waves like in an ultrasonic cleaner is also a good way to get rid of dirt that is stuck deep in the cartridge. You can also use chemicals to dissolve any buildup without hurting the metal. If the dirt is really stubborn you can use heat to burn it which makes the cartridge work, like new again.
