Membrane Solutions 5 Micron 10x|5in Whole House Water Filter Replacement Cartridge for Well Water

5-Micron String-Wound Sediment Filter Cartridge — 10 x 4.5 inch

Overview This 100% food-grade polypropylene (PP) string-wound sediment filter delivers cleaner, clearer water by removing rust, silt, sand and other undissolved particulates. Lead- and BPA-free, non-toxic and odorless, it provides safe pre-filtration for whole house systems, commercial setups, and point-of-use applications.

Key Benefits - High dirt-holding capacity: Deep graded honeycomb winding traps large particles on the outer layers and finer particles toward the core for longer service life.
- Increased flow and efficiency: Designed to provide up to 4× the dirt-holding capacity and 2× the flow rate versus standard PP sediment filters, reducing frequent changes and pressure drop.
- Effective sediment removal: 5-micron filtration removes up to 99% of common suspended solids from feed water, protecting downstream filters and appliances.
- Safe materials: Made from food-grade polypropylene — lead-free, BPA-free, non-leaching and odorless for a fresh filtering experience.

Specifications & Compatibility - Filter type: String-wound sediment cartridge
- Micron rating: 5 micron
- Size: Standard 10 x 4.5 inch (fits most 10-inch blue housings)
- Applications: Whole house prefilter, point-of-entry systems, commercial and industrial sediment prefiltration

Performance & Life Span - Long-life capacity: Filters can handle approximately 30,000–40,000 gallons under typical conditions; actual life depends on inlet water quality and sediment load.
- Replacement guidance: Replace at least every six months to maintain optimal performance and protect downstream components.

Protects Your Water System Use this filter as the first stage in a whole house filtration system to prevent clogging and damage to post-filters, water heaters, pipes, faucets, showerheads, and other appliances — saving maintenance time and extending equipment life.

Why Choose This Filter If your water source contains heavy sediment or you need a reliable, easy-to-fit prefilter for whole house protection, this 5-micron string-wound PP cartridge combines superior dirt-loading, higher flow, and safe materials to deliver consistent, cost-effective sediment removal.
