Coalesce filter cartridge is made from multiple compound material by special process, with its hydrophilicity property, not only does it can remove mechanical admixtures in liquid, but also it can separate water in emulsification from liquid by demulsification and coalescence, and coalescent to a larger drop water in order to further purification of liquid.

Filtration Principle
Oil, water and other liquids, captured by ultra-fine fibers inside that form tortuous passageway to airflow, force solid particles and liquid droplets captured by ultra-fine fiber under filtering mechanism of inertial impaction, diffusion interception and direct interception, surface tension of liquid make it coalescent to bigger droplets, it deposit to container bottom under gravity.

Glass fiber coalesce filter cartridge adopts high density progressive glass fiber to make, designed into integrity single tube structure so as to reduce brokerage and leaking, the surface of filter cartridge is treated by hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, which can meet various filter rating demand.

It is normally to adopt artificial polyester fiber to make coalesce filter cartridge, which is compatible to various liquids, it is made from multi-layers by rolling in helical structure, and each layer adopt fibers with different performance to control its form, size, thickness and density, etc. to reach expected filter rating.

Coalesce filter cartridge mainly selects surface-treated glass fiber and polyester fiber as coalescing materials, its structure has excellent coalescing performance after being designed specially, the filter rating can reach as low as 0.1 micron meter.

Product Advantage

• High filter rating
• Stable filter media structure
• Without fiber dropping
• Wide chemical compatibility
• 100% synthetic material

General coalesce filter cartridge technical data

Hydraulic oil filter, classified by its material, can be made from filtering paper, chemical fiber (glass fiber, sintered metal fiber felt, polypropylene fiber and polyester fiber), screen-type filter (stainless steel screen mesh), wire-gap filter (normally copper or aluminum line).

Hydraulic oil filter is suitable for strong acid, strong base and organic solvent filtration, the structure is pleated with bigger filtering area, low working pressure, large dirty hold and longer service life, there are many models and specifications for selection.

In selection of hydraulic oil filters, here are some points you need to note:

Filter Rating

Hydraulic oil purity is necessarily to be considered for each hydraulic system, and it is also the original purpose we use hydraulic oil filter, so filter rating is the first point we need to consider.
Since that, somebody would assume that we just choose hydraulic oil filters with highest rating to solve the problem. It is good to used high rating filter, but here we have a misunderstanding. Hydraulic oil filter required by hydraulic system is not necessarily High but Proper. Normally hydraulic oil filter with high rating has low flow rate, moreover, in different installation joints, filter rating required are different, and it is also easy to be blocked. If high rating filter necessarily need to be used, that would mean low flow rate, short service life and frequent change-outs.

Hydraulic Oil Filter Strength

The strength of hydraulic oil filter has to meet its operating demand. Pipeline hydraulic oil filter has to bear downstream high pressure after pump, oil suction filter should bear pressure without deforming, without transforming filter rating, meanwhile keep its oil flow rate.
Oil used in some hydraulic systems is some certain corrosive, whether to use common hydraulic oil filter or anticorrosive one should be considered as per site conditions.

Installation

The function and rating of hydraulic oil filter installed in different joints, without idea about its position, it would be hard to select a hydraulic oil filter, this point is very important.

With all these information above, it would be helpful for you to select and use hydraulic oil filter.

Surface filtration mainly adopts screen material and depth-type filtration felt material.

Their differences are as follows:

Screen materials, like nylon monofilament, metal monofilament, etc. directly hold impurities back at the surface of filtering media. The advantage is due to its single filament structure, it can be cleaned for times, so its operation cost is low; and its disadvantage is with only one filter media, which is easy to be blocked by particles. This type of filter products is most suitable for coarse filtration with filter rating between 25-1200 microns.
Felt materials, like needle-punched felt, melt-blown nonwovens, etc. are common three-dimensional depth filtering media. It features loose fiber structure and high porosity, which increases retention rate a lot to impurities. This filtering media belongs to compound retention model material, namely larger particles are captured on the fiber surface and fine particles captured in the depth media, so it has high filtering efficiency, in addition, the high temperature surface treatment, i.e.: instant sintering technique, which can effectively prevent fibers from scattering by high speed liquid in filtration. Felt media belongs to disposable filtering material with its filter rating range form 0.1-200 micron.

Comparison between surface & depth filtration

The two ways of filtration depend on filtering material. The way of membrane filtering material, for instance, is surface filtration, which can be cleaned after it being blocked, it is for multi-times usage; fiber materials are piled up by fiber raw material, impurities can accumulate in its inside structure first then on its surface, which is not allowed to use the second time.
Initial filtering flow rate, which is determined by material aperture, the degree of fiber accumulation can be same, but along with particles accumulation for which it is faster on surface filtration instead of depth-type filtration, so it is faster to block of surface filtration comparing to depth-type one, but for service life, depth-type is much longer than that of surface one.

Nylon membrane has natural hydrophilicity, wide chemical compatibility, without surface active agent. In its production, we have to strictly take control of its environment so as to ensure its quality and cleanity. Sweating soldering is adopted to filter cartridge sealing which as possibly decrease it being oxidized as possible meanwhile extend its service life. Nylon filter cartridge can be cleaned by chemical agent. The pleated cartridges made from Nylon and PP have chemical inertness, no fiber dropping and biological safety. Nylon membrane pleated filter cartridges made by 3F® have characters of large effective filtering area, high flow rate, low resistance, longer service life.

Nylon Pleated Filter Cartridge General TDS

If you’re in the home water treatment game—whether you’re selling filters, designing systems, or just want cleaner water—you’ve likely heard the buzz about coconut activated carbon. This stuff is like the superhero of water purification, tackling everything from chlorine to funky smells. But here’s the problem: not all coconut activated carbon is the real deal. With so many suppliers slapping “premium” labels on their products, how do you know you’re getting the good stuff? Let’s cut through the noise and learn how to spot the genuine article.

Why Coconut Activated Carbon Rocks

First off, let’s talk about why coconut activated carbon is a big deal. Made from coconut shells (yes, the same ones that hold coconut water), this material is a powerhouse for filtering water. Unlike coal or wood-based carbon, coconut shells create a super porous structure with tons of nooks and crannies. This means it can trap more contaminants—like chlorine, pesticides, and even heavy metals—while lasting longer in your filters. Plus, it’s eco-friendly and renewable. Win-win!

But here’s the catch: fake or low-quality versions flood the market. These knockoffs might save a few bucks upfront, but they’ll cost you in performance and customer trust. Let’s break down how to avoid them.

5 Ways to Spot Authentic Coconut Activated Carbon

1. Demand Proof of Origin
Genuine coconut activated carbon starts with coconut shells—period. Ask suppliers straight up: “Is this 100% coconut shell, or a blend?” If they mention mixing in coal or wood, walk away. Blended carbons are cheaper but less effective. Real coconut carbon has a deep black color and a slightly shiny texture. If it looks dull or has uneven chunks, it’s probably not pure.

2. Check for Certifications (No, They’re Not Optional)
Legit suppliers back their claims with certifications. Look for NSF/ANSI standards (like NSF 42 or 61), which confirm the carbon is safe for drinking water. ISO 9001 is another good sign—it means the manufacturer follows quality management practices. Don’t settle for vague promises. Ask for documentation. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag the size of a coconut.

3. Test the Iodine Value
This is the MVP of quality checks. Iodine value measures how well the carbon adsorbs impurities. Genuine coconut activated carbon typically scores between 1,000–1,200 mg/g. Coal-based carbon? It’s more like 600–900 mg/g. Ask your supplier for a lab report. If they dodge the question, assume their product is weak sauce.

4. Do the Sink-or-Swim Test
Coconut carbon is dense. Drop a handful into water—if it sinks fast, you’re golden. Low-quality carbon (or blends) often floats because it’s less dense. You can also rub granules between your fingers. Pure coconut carbon feels hard and won’t crumble easily. If it turns to dust, it’ll clog filters and disappoint customers.

5. Ask About Ash Content
High-quality coconut carbon has low ash content (under 5%). Ash is basically the junk left behind after burning—think minerals or impurities. Too much ash means the carbon isn’t pure, and it might even add nasties to the water. Request a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or ash test results. No info? No deal.

Where Coconut Activated Carbon Shines in Home Water Systems

You’ll see this material in a few key places:
– AC Filters: These are the workhorses for whole-house or under-sink systems. Genuine coconut carbon here means better chemical removal and longer filter life.
– UDF Filters: These combine UV disinfection with carbon. Using pure coconut carbon ensures the UV light isn’t blocked by impurities.
– CTO Filters: The go-to for removing chlorine, taste, and odors. High-quality coconut carbon here keeps water tasting crisp for months.

Why Cheap Carbon Costs You More

Sure, bargain-bin carbon might save money upfront. But here’s the truth: it clogs faster, works slower, and forces customers to replace filters constantly. Genuine coconut activated carbon lasts longer and performs better, which means happier clients and fewer complaints. For distributors and sales teams, that’s a reputation boost. For consumers, it’s better water and fewer trips to the store.

The Bottom Line Identifying genuine coconut activated carbon isn’t rocket science—it’s about asking the right questions and trusting data over flashy marketing. Always verify the source, demand certifications, and test the product yourself if possible. Partner with suppliers who are transparent and have a track record in water treatment.

At the end of the day, using real coconut activated carbon isn’t just a sales pitch. It’s a commitment to quality. Whether you’re installing an AC filter, upgrading a UDF system, or selling CTO cartridges, pure coconut carbon ensures your water treatment solutions actually work. And when customers taste the difference (or don’t taste chlorine at all), they’ll know they’ve got the real deal.

So next time someone asks, “Why coconut?” you can smile and say, “Because science—and coconuts—don’t lie.”

Pure water, also known as purified water, is a type of colorless transparent drinkable water which sealed up in container meanwhile it does not have any additives. It is made from raw water which accords with drinking water standards by process methods of electro-dialysis, ion exchange, RO, distillation and others.

Most space water, distilled water in markets belong to pure water. The strong and weak electrolyte in raw water, e.g.: SiO2, CO2, etc. are removed to some extent degree. Its conductivity usually is 1.0-0.1μs/cm, resistivity 1.0-10.0MΩ•cm, saltiness<1mg/L.

Ultra-pure water is made on the basis of pure water by further removing almost all conducting medium, meanwhile removing non-dissociative colloidal substance, air and organics to lowest extent degree. Resistivity is above 18.0MΩ•cm or close to extreme 18.25MΩ•cm.

Ultra-pure water is hard to achieve through ordinary process, it can be realized by two or more techniques among micro-filtration, ultra-filtration, RO, EDI and ion-exchange along with rational process designation, equipment selection, to achieve ultra-pure water with resistivity 18.20MΩ•cm odd.

The difference between pure water and ultra-pure water exists in various aspects, we sum up it as follows:

1. Conductivity: pure water is normally between 2-10μs/cm, and ultra-pure water 0.056μs/cm.
2. Production process: the pure water applied in markets normally is made by the way of RO and distillation, but on the basis of pure water, we also need photo-catalytic oxidation, fine treatment, and other series of complicated purifying method to achieve.
3. Quality standard in heavy metal, virus, particle: pure water is PPM grade and ultra-pure water PPB grade. In short, ultra-pure water almost has no foreign substances and approach to theoretical water.
4. Different application industries.
5. The material of transportation pipe: the pipe for transporting ultra-pure water is stricter than that for pure water.

RO system is to make extra pure water by 1. Filtering raw water via fine filter, UDF, CTO filters; 2. Pressurizing and let it flow through 1/10000μm RO membrane, make high concentrated water into low one; 3. Meanwhile removing all foreign matters such as heavy metal, germs, virus and etc. so it can reach physical-chemical index and hygienic standard.

RO membrane is a critical parts in RO system, in its long run, calcium and magnesium ions in water would separate out and adhere to the surface of RO membrane, scale formatting then lowering water production efficiency of RO system, damaging RO membrane. Since RO membrane is expensive, that is the reason why we have to add scale inhibitor in water to delay calcium and magnesium separation and forming water scale.

Scale inhibitor is used to realize solubilization, the agent would ionize when put it into water and generate negative charge molecular chain, combining with Ca2+ it is able to generate water soluble clathrate and chelate, increasing the difficulty for inorganic salt to dissolve, so functioning as scale inhibiting.

Scale inhibitor can effectively prevent foreign matters from subsiding and scale forming, largely improve RO system operation, increase water production quality.
