Membrane Solutions 20-Micron Pleated Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge — Heavy-Duty 20" x |5" (2-P

20" 20-Micron Pleated Sediment Filter Cartridge — Universal Fit

Overview Compact, high-capacity pleated filter designed for reliable sediment removal in household and light-commercial water systems. The 20-micron pleated design increases surface area for longer service life and steady water flow, making it ideal as a first-line sediment cartridge for bench top, under-sink, or whole-house filtration systems.

Key Specifications - Size: 20" (Length) x 4-1/2" (Outer Diameter) x 1-1/10" (Inner Diameter, ≈1.1") - Filtration rating: 20 micron (pleated) - Material: High-surface-area pleated media - Fits: Most 20" filter housings (bench top, under sink, whole house)

Why it’s Better - Pleated design for efficient filtration: Larger specific surface area than typical sediment cartridges captures sand, dirt, silt, rust and scale particles more effectively while maintaining consistent flow. - Low pressure drop: Engineered to provide stable, continuous water flow with minimal impact on system pressure. - Protects water equipment: Acts as the first line of defense to help prevent pipe clogging and extend the service life of downstream appliances, pumps and filters.

Performance & Lifespan - Service life: 4–6 months under typical household conditions. - Capacity: Filters up to 60,000 gallons depending on inlet water quality and daily usage. - Replacement interval: Change based on local water quality and usage patterns; replace regularly to maintain water quality and avoid re-contamination.

Maintenance & Care - Washable and reusable: Rinsable multiple times to extend usable life when the cartridge is not heavily soiled. - Replace when visibly dirty or when performance declines to ensure optimal filtration and to prevent bacterial re-growth.

What It Removes (and What It Doesn’t) - Removes: sand, dirt, silt, rust, scale and other large sediment particles (20 micron) - Does not remove: chlorine, dissolved chemicals, or pathogens—use with appropriate carbon or specialty media if taste, odor or chemical removal is required.

Compatibility Notes Designed to fit most standard 20" housings — a straightforward drop-in replacement for many bench top, under-sink and whole-house sediment filter systems. Confirm housing dimensions before purchase.
