High-Performance Sediment Filtration with the Harmsco 801-5
The Harmsco 801-5 Filter Cartridge removes silt, sand, rust, and other fine particles from water systems. As a result, it helps protect pumps, heat exchangers, and reverse osmosis membranes from premature wear and clogging. Its Polyester-Plus™ media provides about 6 square feet of filtration area inside a standard 9-3/4-inch cartridge.
The Harmsco 801-5 Replacement Filter uses a deep pleated design to maximize filtration area. The pleats capture more sediment while maintaining low pressure loss. Consequently, the cartridge supports flow rates up to 6 GPM and delivers longer service life than many standard sediment filters.
Harmsco manufactures this 5-micron filter cartridge with FDA-compliant materials and certifies it to NSF/ANSI Standard 61. In addition, the thermally bonded plastisol end caps create a secure seal that helps prevent bypass. The color-coded end caps also allow technicians to identify the micron rating quickly during filter replacement.
Users can clean and reuse this Harmsco water filter cartridge in many low-viscosity applications. Therefore, it helps reduce operating costs and extends filter life. Purchasing the 24-pack case also ensures replacement cartridges remain available for routine maintenance.
The Harmsco 801-5 fits Harmsco HIF filter housings and many standard 10-inch commercial filter vessels. Whether used for reverse osmosis pretreatment, cooling towers, municipal water systems, industrial process water, or commercial filtration, it provides dependable sediment removal and long-lasting performance.
Available from Water Treatment Supply, the Harmsco 801-5 Filter Cartridge delivers reliable filtration, high dirt-holding capacity, and consistent protection for demanding water treatment systems.
Hydraulic Sizing & Operational Limits of the 801-5 Cartridge
Review the physical measurements, flow capabilities, and material properties for this premium 5 micron cartridge filter:
Housing Compatibility & Architecture
- Target Vessel Fitment: Optimised for Harmsco HIF filter housings (uses 9-3/4″, 19-1/2″ and 29-1/4″ modular stacks)
- Universal Chamber Fit: Drops cleanly into most standard commercial 10-inch industrial multi-cartridge vessels
- End Cap Design: Pliable thermal PVC seals that flex under pressure to prevent raw fluid bypass
- Core Support Structure: Perforated inner core prevents the element from collapsing under heavy dirt loads
Use Cases & Industry Applications:
- Reverse Osmosis Pre-Filtration: Removes fine suspended solids to prevent premature fouling and scaling on expensive RO membrane elements.
- Cooling Tower Sidestream Filtration: Traps airborne dust, pollen, and pipe scale from basin water to keep heat exchangers clean.
- Closed Chilled Water Loops: Captures system rust and pipe scale in commercial HVAC loops, protecting high-velocity circulation pumps.
- Food & Beverage Processing: Uses FDA-compliant materials to safely filter ingredient water, pre-rinse lines, and wash loops.
- Municipal & Commercial Drinking Water: Functions as a certified NSF-61 sediment filter step for office parks, apartments, and processing plants.

FAQs
- Can the Harmsco 801-5 filter cartridge be cleaned and reused?
Yes. In most standard sediment applications, the specialised Polyester-Plus™ media can be gently washed out and reused. This cleanable design extends the life of each filter and lowers overall operating costs compared to disposable melt-blown filters. - What standard filter housings are compatible with this Harmsco 801-5 replacement filter?
This standard 2.75″ x 9.75″ element is designed for Harmsco HIF housings, but it also fits cleanly into most standard industrial 10-inch multi-cartridge vessels that accept double open-ended (DOE) cartridges. - Why are the end caps on this 5 micron cartridge filter colour-coded?
Harmsco colour-codes the plastisol end caps to help maintenance crews instantly identify the micron rating of the filter element. This visual check ensures the correct micron level is used during fast change-outs, protecting downstream systems from incorrect filter sizing. - What is the recommended operational flow velocity for this Harmsco water filter cartridge?
The recommended flow rate is 4 to 6 GPM per individual 9-3/4″ cartridge. For the best balance of filtration efficiency and element lifespan, Harmsco recommends operating your system at around 70% of the maximum flow rate capacity. - Can I use this industrial cartridge filter case in high-temperature process applications?
The standard model features a maximum temperature rating of 140°F (60°C). For high-temperature setups up to 200°F (93.3°C), please contact us for Harmsco’s High-Temperature (HT) series, which features specialised urethane end caps.
