Is the solid mesh on this filter plastic or metal?

Look at the pic, the black color is hard plastic, the mesh (kind of gold color) is soft metal. This filter is very good. I used it years, don't have any problem with it. Love much easy clean up. Just rinse it Done.

The mesh portion is metal. The black portions (which I think are there to hold the mesh metal together) are plastic.

The filter is metal, bronze in color, excellent mesh. Have had excellent service.

The only metal part in the unit is the shaft that all the gears are on. The jet on the exterior of the unit is ABS so you should not have any problems with scaling. Just make sure there is no dirt or trash flowing downstream from your filter tank and you should be all set. Hope this helps!

It's metal filter, just screw it apart, wash and ready to go again. The whole can and filter are stainless steel.

Filter is plastic w/ white mesh. 2"deep and 5 1/4 " diameter. It works the same as the gold filter, I am sure

The front is solid white plastic as shown in the illustration. The back is a plastic grid that allows air flow and snaps off to replace place the filter. The back can be vacuumed to improve air flow. It is quiet and works well, but I'm upset that the filters cost almost as much as the whole device.

Metal. This little item has made removing my oil filter and fuel filter on my 05 Ford Diesel much much easier.

It is plastic but with a chrome finish. I think the hose part might be metal.

Hi H,The filter adaptor in this kit is made out of metal. If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.Sincerely,Customer Service Team

It appears the filter is arc welded using electricity to bond the 2 halves which hold the filter together. Since this does not involve a welding rod I would have to say yes the welds are stainless as they do not contain another metal. As Daishi commented this is called spot welding.

This is just a metal filter. If you need to replace any other parts, you need to buy them separately.

KDavies, the filter looks to be some sort of nylon weave, the frame for the filter is a strong, dense, high quality plastic. I have seen people get very upset by this, but my familiarity with plastics used in the medical and scientific fields gives me reason to feel it is not a problem. I have been using mine for years with no apparent degradation of the plastics involved, no change to the surface from a hard, glossy plastic.

The inner cap of the lid and the part of the plunger that holds the mesh are plastic. The plunger shaft is metal.

The filter is made of a white fiberglass product. The outer part is a corrugated white, stiff product and the inner part looks like a spun fiberglass. It looks a lot like the round, cylindrical swimming pool filters if you're familiar with those. it's easy to remove and clean.

I believe the inner filter is aluminum. The base, so far as I can tell, is completely steel.

Not sure about tubing in undergravel filters, but it is made out of a hard plastic, kind of like plexiglass. It bends very little though, so if you bend it much it will break. It's pretty strong stuff, never had it break on me but I don't need to bend it.

it is a metal screen filter. just rinse it out, and it should last forever, unless you somehow lose it. then you are stuck buying a 5 pack when all you need is one.

I have no idea but the filter is made of metal and that is the majority of the filter
