10″ Standard Polypropylene String Wound Sediment Filter – Reliable Pre‑Filter The 10″ standard polypropylene string wound sediment filter is a high-quality cartridge designed to trap sand, silt, rust, and other suspended solids from water. This 10″ string wound filter acts as a pre-filter to protect downstream filtration systems, such as carbon blocks, UV sterilizers, and RO membranes, reducing maintenance and improving overall water quality. Made from 100% polypropylene, the string wound construction provides depth filtration, capturing debris throughout the media rather than just on the surface. The 10″ standard size fits most household and commercial filter housings, ensuring easy installation and replacement. How the 10″ String Wound Sediment Filter Works Water flows from the outside to the inside of the cartridge, with larger particles caught in the outer layers and finer sediment trapped deeper inside. This depth filtration design increases dirt-holding capacity, maintains flow rates, and prevents clogging over extended periods. Technical Specifications Specification Detail Filter Type Polypropylene string-wound sediment filter Size 10″ standard Filter Media 100% polypropylene string wound Micron Ratings 5 µm Outer Diameter 55–65 mm approx. Inner Diameter 28–30 mm approx. Max Temp ~70 °C Pressure Rating Standard for household filter housings Applications Pre-filtration for drinking water, RO systems, whole-house setups, and light commercial water lines Key Benefits Captures sand, silt, rust, and fine particles effectively Protects downstream RO membranes, carbon filters, and UV systems Consistent flow with minimal pressure drop 10″ standard size fits most filter housings Easy to replace, durable, and chemical-resistant Applications The 10″ standard polypropylene string-wound sediment filter is ideal for: Household drinking water systems RO system pre-filtration Whole-house sediment removal Well water and municipal water pre-filters Light commercial water lines Maintenance & Replacement Install in a standard 10″ housing and flush before first use. Replace the cartridge every 6–12 months, or sooner if flow decreases or sediment load is high. Regular inspection ensures optimal performance and longevity of downstream filters.
