Darlly antibacterial 1 micron meltblown sediment cartridges combine fine polypropylene depth filtration with a silver-ion antibacterial additive incorporated into the filter media. They reduce fine suspended particles such as sand, silt and rust while helping to inhibit bacterial growth within the cartridge media.
Choose the cartridge or multipack option that matches your filter housing. A smaller micron rating captures finer particles; this 1 micron range is intended for fine sediment polishing and performs best where coarser sediment is removed upstream.
Key Features

- Available in 10-inch Slimline and 20-inch Big Blue formats
- Single-cartridge and multipack options available
Available Options
-
10-inch Slimline: Single cartridge – SKU H2OW1289

Dimensions and Compatibility
-
10-inch Slimline: approximately 248–254 mm long, depending on the housing standard, approximately 63 mm outside diameter
-
20-inch Big Blue: 508 mm nominal length, approximately 115 mm outside diameter
- Confirm the housing length and diameter before ordering; Slimline and Big Blue cartridges are not interchangeable
Understanding Micron Ratings
- A smaller micron number provides finer particle filtration but may block sooner where sediment levels are high
- 0.5–1 micron: fine sediment polishing, normally after coarser prefiltration
- 5 micron: a popular general-purpose choice for domestic sediment filtration
- 10–20 micron: medium prefiltration that balances particle removal and flow
- 50–100 micron: coarse prefiltration for larger suspended particles and heavier sediment loads
- Micron rating describes particle filtration; it does not indicate removal of dissolved substances
Common Uses
- Fine sediment polishing in domestic and commercial water filters
- Whole-house and point-of-use filtration
- Prefiltration before carbon, softening, reverse osmosis or ultraviolet treatment
- Borehole, wellpoint and rainwater systems with suitable upstream treatment
Installation and Replacement
- Shut off the water supply and depressurise the housing before opening it
- Replace the cartridge when flow reduces, differential pressure rises or sediment begins to pass through
- Replacement frequency depends on water quality, consumption and sediment load
Important Information
- The antibacterial additive is intended to inhibit bacterial growth within the cartridge media
- This cartridge does not disinfect water and does not replace UV, chlorination or another validated disinfection process
- It does not remove dissolved salts or TDS
