SHIELD Filtration

SHIELD — Sediment Filtration

Crusader SHIELD Sediment filters use dual-layer pleated or spun-yarn media to maximize dirt-holding capacity and service life — high flow, low pressure drop, with double O-ring seals.

SHIELD — Sediment Filtration

Dual-layer protection from sediment. Crusader SHIELD Sediment filters come in two styles: dual-gradient double-pleated filters (ideal for uniform-sized particles, ~100 ft² surface area for long life and high flow) and dual-gradient spun-yarn filters (ideal for variably-sized particles). Both use a protective outer layer and a selective inner layer to maximize dirt-holding capacity while keeping pressure drop low.

Double Buna-N O-ring seals ensure no contaminant bypass, durable polyester/polypropylene construction resists bacteria and chemicals, and belly bands on select models prevent collapse under heavy load. Great for drinking water, reverse osmosis, rainwater harvest, food/beverage and more.

How It Works & What’s Included

Dual-Layer Filtration

SHIELD Sediment filters come in dual-gradient double-pleated style (ideal for uniform-sized particles, with roughly 100 ft² of surface area for long life and high flow) and dual-gradient spun-yarn style (ideal for variably-sized particles). Each uses a protective outer layer and a selective inner layer.

Built to Last

Double Buna-N O-ring seals prevent contaminant bypass, durable polyester and polypropylene construction resists bacteria and chemicals, and belly bands on select models prevent collapse under heavy load — great for drinking water, reverse osmosis, rainwater harvest, food and beverage and more.
