Parker S23R30A Cartridge Filter 5 Micron 30 Inches

Product Description

The PARKER S23R30A is a string-wound polyester cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration systems. It measures 30 inches in length with a 2.5-inch outside diameter and delivers 5-micron filtration to remove sediment, dirt, and particulate from water lines. The polyester winding and polypropylene core meet FDA material-grade standards, making this cartridge suitable for potable water and food-service-adjacent applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers. Maximum working temperature is 120 degrees F.

This filter is used in residential and light commercial water supply systems where sediment control is required at a 5-micron threshold. Typical installations include whole-house pre-filtration, point-of-entry treatment systems, and inline protection for water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, or process equipment. The 30-inch length suits standard filter housings designed for longer-format cartridges, providing extended service intervals compared to shorter 10-inch or 20-inch formats.

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. Follow the housing manufacturer torque guidance for the sump cap and inspect the O-ring or gasket for wear during each cartridge change. Observe local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements, when installing or replacing inline filtration components.
