Parker WC23R10 5 Micron Cartridge Filter 2.5 in 10 in

Product Description

The PARKER WC23R10 is a string-wound plumbing cartridge filter designed to remove sediment and particulate matter from water supply lines and plumbing systems. Constructed from acetate cotton wound over a tinned steel core, it delivers 5 micron filtration across its full 10-inch length. The 2.5-inch outside diameter fits standard filter housings used in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the typical installers. The tinned steel core resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures, making this filter suitable for both cold and hot water service up to 250 degrees F.

This filter is used in point-of-entry and point-of-use water filtration systems where sediment reduction is required before water reaches fixtures, appliances, or process equipment. Common install scenarios include whole-house pre-filters, irrigation system inlets, and commercial foodservice pre-treatment lines. The 5 micron rating captures fine sand, silt, rust particles, and scale debris that would otherwise cause premature wear on valves, solenoids, and downstream equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing o-ring for wear or damage and replace if needed before seating the new cartridge. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements, for filter installation in potable water systems.
