Description

The Premiere AMF-20S tankless water heater filter system includes a heavy-duty, 20 inch water filter housing and our AMF-SDR520 scale inhibitor cartridge (a water filter for sediment and scale). This system removes sediment and protects the heat exchanger in your tankless water heater to avoid tank failure. Designed for all commercial and residential tankless water heaters including Bosch, Navien, Noritz, Paloma, Raypak, Rheem, Rinnai, Stiebel Eltron, Takagi, and more.

Features

  • Ideal for large-capacity filtration needs, including high-flow and heavy-sediment applications
  • Sturdier filter housing than others on the market — it’s constructed with 15% more material!
  • Heavy-duty, food grade plastic housing suitable for drinking water filters
  • The extra large housing allows for greater cartridge capacity, reducing the number of vessels required for high flow-rate applications
  • Premium 5 micron deep grooved water filter cartridge with scale inhibitor to protect your heat exchanger and avoid tank failure
  • Rigid construction with 68 deep grooves. The grooved design increases surface area, extends the water filter cartridge life, and increases water filtration efficiency too!
  • Siliphos ® scale control product prevents scale and stops corrosion. It works by forming a thin protective layer on the metal surface to inhibit the deposition of scale and corrosion.
  • What makes our tankless water heater filter cartridge superior to other suppliers is the 5 micron absolute rating, deep grooves, and use of the most effective scale control formula. Don’t settle for inferior cartridges with no track record!
  • Built in pressure release valve (PRV), to release pressure before changing filters
  • Screw-off lid with wrench for easy changing of the drop-in scale inhibitor cartridge
  • With over 30 years experience and thousands of systems in the field, this product is the most recommended by boiler, water heater, and tankless water heater manufacturers

Filtration Process

Mechanical - A physical barrier traps particles to remove them from water.

Adsorption - Traps particles and some dissolved contaminants through physical and chemical interactions.

Ultrafiltration - Removes ultrafine particles and bacteria.

Multi-stage - Multiple filter stages that target specific contaminants.

Reverse Osmosis - Removes all contaminants to produce pure water.

Alkaline - Increases alkalinity (pH) and antioxidant level.

Mechanical
Type of Filter

Activated Carbon Block - Removes chlorine, organic compounds, and other contaminants from water.

Catalytic Carbon - Removes chloramines and some heavy metals; more effective chlorine and organic compound removal than activated carbon block filters.

Anti Scale - Prevents hard water scale and corrosion.

Sediment - Removes suspended particles such as sand, dirt, rust, and sediment from water.

Pleated - Removes bacteria, viruses, ultrafine particles, and other contaminants from water.

Granular Activated Carbon - Removes chlorine and some other contaminants; less effective particulate filtration compared to carbon block filters.
