Atlas re5115408 String Wound Water Filter Cartridge 5 Microns

Product Description

The ATLAS re5115408 is a string wound water filter cartridge rated at 5 microns, designed for consistent sediment reduction in residential, commercial, and light industrial water treatment systems. Constructed from precision-wound polypropylene, the cartridge delivers high dirt-holding capacity while maintaining structural integrity under sustained flow and pressure conditions. The graduated density winding traps larger particles toward the outer layers and finer particles closer to the core, extending service life between changeouts. Licensed plumbers, water treatment technicians, and facility maintenance personnel typically install and service this type of cartridge.

This cartridge fits standard 2.5-inch by 10-inch filter housings commonly found in whole-house sediment pre-filters, point-of-entry systems, and light industrial filtration skids. It is well suited for applications requiring sediment removal ahead of softeners, reverse osmosis systems, carbon filters, or other downstream treatment equipment. The 5-micron rating makes it appropriate for reducing sand, silt, rust, and scale particles from municipal or well water supplies.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. A housing wrench is recommended for removal and reinstallation of the sump. Inspect the housing O-ring for wear and lubricate as needed before resealing. Follow local plumbing codes and the housing manufacturer guidelines for maximum operating pressure and temperature ratings.
