AALFilter’s SS304/316L Multi Cartridge Filter Housing is engineered for high-capacity, high-efficiency liquid filtration—making it the ideal solution for reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatment in desalination systems. Built with corrosion-resistant stainless steel 304 or 316L, this filter housing is capable of handling aggressive seawater and brine environments while maintaining consistent performance and reliability.
Available in configurations from 3 to 156 cartridges, the housing supports various cartridge lengths and end cap types, including DOE, 222/Flat, and 222/Fin. Designed in accordance with ASME standards and offering optional electropolishing, this filter housing is perfectly suited for municipal and industrial desalination plants where pre-filtration is critical to protect downstream RO membranes and ensure water quality.
