Pentair 155017-43 Pleated Cartridge Filter 30 Micron

Product Description

The PENTAIR 155017-43 is a pleated cartridge filter designed to reduce sediment in residential and light commercial plumbing and water treatment systems. Constructed from non-woven polyester media, the pleated configuration increases surface area relative to standard wound or melt-blown cartridges, supporting longer service intervals before replacement. The filter measures 2-5/8 inches outside diameter and 9-3/4 inches in length, with a 30-micron rating suited for capturing particulate such as sand, rust, and fine sediment. Rated to a maximum of 5 psi and a temperature range of 40 to 125 degrees F, this cartridge is installed by licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians during system setup or routine filter maintenance.

This cartridge is appropriate for point-of-entry and point-of-use sediment filtration applications where particulate control is required upstream of water heaters, softeners, or fixtures. Its compact 9-3/4 inch length fits standard 10-inch housing sizes commonly found in residential plumbing systems and light commercial installations. The 30-micron rating targets visible sediment and coarse particulate without restricting flow in low-pressure applications operating under 5 psi differential. Plumbers and water treatment service techs typically install this cartridge during scheduled maintenance or in response to sediment-related service calls.
