This 10-inch polypropylene sediment cartridge is a versatile, food‑grade filter designed for reliable pre‑filtration in residential and light commercial water systems. Built from FDA‑compatible polypropylene media, the cartridge provides consistent 20 micron particle removal to reduce sediment, sand, rust, silt, and scale before downstream carbon or membrane stages. Ideal for standard 10" housings and common RO pre‑filters, it offers broad chemical compatibility and low extractables for cleaner tasting water.

Key Features

• Nominal Rating: 20 micron for effective sediment removal
• Length: 10" — fits most standard 10" filter housings and RO units
• Material: 100% polypropylene (melt‑blown/spun fiber options available)
• High dirt‑holding capacity with low pressure drop for longer life
• Food‑grade construction and wide chemical compatibility
• Quick, tool‑free replacement in most systems

Both melt‑blown and spun polypropylene constructions are commonly used for this size and rating, giving options for higher contaminant holding capacity or graded density performance depending on the exact media type. Use as a first‑stage sediment filter to extend the life of carbon blocks, RO membranes, and downstream equipment.

Applications & Maintenance

Perfect for: under‑sink RO systems, countertop filters, whole‑house pre‑filtration, well water sediment reduction, and general potable water pretreatment. Replace periodically based on water quality and pressure drop — many users change 2–3 times per year in typical residential conditions. For compatibility with specific housings or end‑cap codes, verify end fittings before purchase.
