Nu-calgon NUCAL-9534-40 Sediment Filter Cartridge 10 Micron

Product Description

The NU-CALGON NUCAL-9534-40 is a 10-micron nominal sediment filter cartridge designed for use as a prefilter in water filtration systems. Standing 10 inches tall, it captures larger particulates including dirt, rust, and sediment before water reaches downstream filtration stages. By removing these coarser contaminants at the first stage, it protects submicron carbon filters from premature loading and extends their service life. This cartridge is installed by licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians in residential and light commercial applications where water quality and system longevity are priorities.

This filter cartridge is suited for prefilter positions in multi-stage water filtration assemblies. Its 10-micron nominal rating makes it effective at intercepting suspended solids, rust particles, and general sediment common in municipal and well water supplies. It is a practical first-stage solution in systems where carbon block or other submicron media follows downstream, reducing maintenance frequency on those higher-cost filter elements.

Key Features

• 10-micron nominal filtration rating targets dirt, rust, and sediment
• 10-inch height fits standard prefilter housings
• Sediment prefilter application extends life of downstream submicron carbon filters
• Reduces rust and suspended particulate contamination in the water supply

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sediment prefilter cartridge for standard 10-inch filter housings used in residential and light commercial multi-stage water filtration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing to swap cartridges. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and the housing manufacturer guidelines for cartridge seating and housing torque. Inspect O-rings and housing threads for wear at each cartridge change.
