Parker WC23R30A String-wound Cartridge Filter 5 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER WC23R30A is a string-wound cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration applications. It measures 30 inches in length with a 2.5-inch outside diameter and delivers 5-micron filtration through an acetate cotton wound media. The polypropylene plastic core supports the wound structure under flow. This filter is rated for a maximum working temperature of 120 degrees F, making it suitable for cold and cool water service lines. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the typical installers for this type of cartridge.

This filter is used in residential and light commercial water filtration systems where sediment control is required ahead of sensitive equipment such as water heaters, boilers, RO membranes, or fixtures. The 5-micron rating captures fine particulate including silt, sand, rust, and scale. At 30 inches, this is a standard big-blue or high-capacity housing format suited for higher-flow applications where extended service intervals are a priority.
