Membrane Solutions 5-Micron String Wound Whole House Filter Cartridge 10"x|5" — Universal Replacement for Well Water

5-Micron String-Wound Sediment Water Filter Cartridge — 10 x 2.5-inch (Food-Grade WPP)

Product Overview - High-performance string-wound sediment filter engineered for reliable pre-filtration in residential, commercial, and industrial water systems. Designed to trap sand, silt, rust, and other undissolved particulates before they reach downstream filters and appliances.

Key Benefits - Superior dirt-holding: String-wound design provides up to 4× the dirt-holding capacity of standard PP sediment filters, extending service life and reducing replacement frequency. - Faster flow rate: Delivers roughly double the flow rate compared with typical polypropylene (PP) sediment cartridges, maintaining strong water pressure while filtering effectively. - Long-life filtration: Handles up to 15,000–20,000 gallons depending on inlet water quality—ideal as a durable prefilter for RO systems and whole house water filtration.

Performance & Filtration Design - Deep-graded, honeycomb string-wound structure: Dense near the inner core and progressively more open toward the outside to capture larger particles first and finer particles closer to the center for effective depth filtration. - 5-micron nominal rating: Removes up to 99% of sediment particles such as rust, sand, and silt, protecting downstream filters and appliances from clogging.

Compatibility & Applications - Standard universal size: 10 x 2.5-inch cartridge fits most 10-inch filter housings. - Common uses: Pre-filter for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, whole house filtration systems, faucets, showers, commercial and light industrial filtration setups.

Material & Safety - Food-grade 100% polypropylene (WPP): Lead-free, BPA-free, non-toxic and odorless with no leaching—safe for potable water applications. - Tested for material safety: WPP filter tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.

Protects Your Equipment - First-stage defense: As the initial filter in a multi-stage system, it shields post-filters, RO membranes, water heaters, pumps, pipes, faucets, and shower fittings from abrasive and clogging particulates—reducing maintenance and extending equipment life.

Installation & Maintenance - Easy drop-in replacement for most 10-inch housings. - Recommended change interval: Replace every six months or sooner based on sediment load and flow requirements to maintain optimal performance.

Technical Specifications - Filtration media: String-wound polypropylene (WPP) - Micron rating: 5 µm - Size: 10 x 2.5 inches (standard) - Flow performance: Up to ~2× flow vs standard PP sediment filters (varies by system) - Dirt-holding capacity: Up to ~4× vs standard PP sediment filters - Lifespan: Up to 15,000–20,000 gallons (dependent on water quality) - Certification: NSF/ANSI 42 (material requirements only)

Buy with confidence: a durable, high-capacity 5-micron string-wound sediment filter that improves water quality, protects equipment, and reduces replacement frequency in RO and whole house filtration systems.
