This appears to be identical to a filter I purchased elsewhere. It's a commercial grade rigid molded 100% polypropylene 9 3/4" filter that fits into a standard Pentek housing and designed to be reused just need a source of 180° water to run through it for 30 minutes at 5PSI. Specs below. Sanitization and Sterilization Hot water at 175°F (80°C) at 5 psid for 30 minutes Inline steam at 257°F (125°C) @ 1 psid (0.7 bar) for 30 minutes Autoclavable at 257°F (125°C) for 30 minutes

You can rinse it when you are using it but I don't think you should save it and try to reuse it. It also gets clogged very easily.

The absolute rated .45 filter with the hard caged body is reusable.

Yes it is cleanable/reusable.

It is not cleanable if it has reached it's limit but it is reusable if you store it properly in a plastic tube with end caps in a solution of acid blend and So2.

It is a disposable filter. It’s rated for 10 gallons of brew. You can backdlush it to clean it and perhaps extend its life. The best way to extend its life would be to stage filter 5 micron to 1 micron to this filter. And then backflush with a starsan solution or similar agent.

We have reused the .45 micron filter. After use clean and store in sulfite/citric acid solution.

These 0.045 filters are cleanable and can be used at least twice perhaps three times. In our winery I have two filter cartridges and use a 0.5 filter in the first one then the wine goes directly into the second cartridge with the 0.045 filter. The first filter removes the larger particles and the second filter removes the smallest particles including yeast. I can reuse the 0.045 filter in again in the same method. In the next filtering process by putting it in the first cartridge and another 0.045 in the second cartridge. This works well for us.

My understanding is that this is reusable and should last for a while. I flushed with cold water until it ran clear after use. Store it dry... If memory serves the instructions that come with it explain this.

This is for one filter.
