Pentair 155228-43 Sediment Filter Cartridge 5 Micron 30 in

Product Description

The PENTAIR 155228-43 is a spun bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed to reduce sediment in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Measuring 2.375 inches in outside diameter and 30 inches in length, this filter fits standard whole-house and point-of-entry filter housings that accept jumbo cartridges. The 5 micron rating captures fine sediment particles including sand, silt, rust, and scale. Polypropylene construction resists bacterial growth and chemical degradation, making it a dependable choice for potable water filtration applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians install this cartridge as part of routine maintenance or initial system setup.

This filter cartridge is suited for residential whole-house sediment filtration, light commercial water treatment, and point-of-entry pre-filtration upstream of softeners, reverse osmosis systems, or other water treatment equipment. It handles operating temperatures from 40 degrees F to 145 degrees F, making it compatible with cold and warm water supply lines. The spun bonded construction provides depth filtration, meaning sediment is captured throughout the media rather than only on the surface, which supports longer service intervals between cartridge changes.
