Embedding and sealing each end of the pleat in this fashion fuses the three components together forming a united end cap to gasket unit. The overlap seam is welded to reduce internal bypass improving filtration efficiency. R Series filter cartridges are resistant to both bacteria and chemical attack making them suitable for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications.

More time along the media allows for higher capture and retention of unwanted contaminants. This also allows for greater amounts of larger particles of sediment and sand to collect within the pleats of the filter. This pleated design enhances structural stability and helps increase the performance of the filter.
