String-Wound Sediment Filter Cartridge — 5 Micron, 10 x 4.5 in (Food-Grade Polypropylene)
Overview Built from food-grade 100% polypropylene, this string-wound sediment filter delivers safe, odorless filtration with no leaching—lead- and BPA-free for worry-free water treatment. Engineered for heavy-duty prefiltration, it combines high dirt-holding capacity and faster flow for reliable whole-house protection.
Key Features
- Premium material: Food-grade 100% polypropylene — non-toxic, odorless, no secondary pollution.
- High-performance string-wound design: Deep graded honeycomb structure with dense inner core and progressively open outer layers for true depth filtration.
- Enhanced capacity & flow: Four times the dirt-holding capacity and double the flow rate compared to standard PP sediment filters, extending service life and reducing replacements.
- Effective sediment removal: Captures up to 99% of rust, silt, sand and other undissolved particulates at 5-micron rating.
- Universal fit: Standard 10 x 4.5-inch size fits most 10-inch blue filter housings and common whole-house systems.
Benefits for Your Home and Equipment
- Protects downstream components: Acts as the first-stage prefilter to safeguard post-filters, water heaters, appliances, pipes, faucets and showerheads from clogging and wear.
- Cleaner, clearer water: Significantly reduces visible sediment and particulate, improving water quality for drinking, bathing and appliance longevity.
- Less maintenance, lower cost: Higher dirt-loading capacity and increased flow reduce the frequency of cartridge changes and system downtime.
- Versatile application: Ideal for residential whole-house filtration, as well as commercial and light industrial feed-water prefiltration.
