Culligan Inc R50-BBSA Sediment Filter Cartridge 50 Micron

Product Description

The CULLIGAN INC R50-BBSA is a jumbo heavy-duty whole house sediment water filter replacement cartridge designed for high-volume residential and light commercial filtration applications. Built with a pleated polyester media, this cartridge captures scale, rust particles, and coarse sand at a 50 micron rating. The pleated construction provides greater surface area than standard wound or spun cartridges, which extends service intervals and reduces pressure drop across the filter housing. Rated for a filter life of approximately 6 months under typical household use, it is intended for installation by plumbers or qualified water treatment technicians in whole-house point-of-entry filter systems.

This cartridge fits jumbo-style filter housings used in whole house sediment prefiltration setups. It is well-suited for applications where high sediment loads are present in the supply water, such as well water systems or municipal supplies with aging infrastructure. The 50 micron rating makes it appropriate as a coarse prefilter upstream of finer filtration stages. Compatible housing references noted in the product data include TV series 216-91138 and 852-574. Install in the primary filter stage of a whole-house system to protect downstream equipment including water heaters, fixtures, and appliances.
