Value Collection WS-PL-0975050EF Pleated Filter 50 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-0975050EF is a pleated polyester cartridge filter designed to reduce sediment in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Measuring 9.75 inches in length and 2.5 inches in outside diameter, it fits standard filter housings commonly found in whole-house filtration setups. The pleated polyester media delivers a 50 micron filtration rating, capturing sand, dirt, rust particles, and other coarse sediment before they reach downstream fixtures, appliances, or process equipment. A polypropylene plastic core supports the media under flow and maintains structural integrity up to 125 degrees F.

This cartridge is suited for whole-house sediment prefiltration, well water systems, irrigation supply lines, and point-of-entry filtration applications. It handles a maximum flow rate of 10.00 GPM, making it appropriate for single-family residential service or small commercial point-of-entry installations where moderate flow capacity is required. Plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers, typically deploying this filter upstream of softeners, carbon filters, or other sensitive treatment equipment to extend the service life of those downstream components.
