Value Collection WS-PL-0987025PP Cartridge Filter 25 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-0987025PP is a string-wound polypropylene cartridge filter designed to reduce sediment in residential and light commercial plumbing water filtration systems. It measures 4.5 inches in outside diameter and 9.87 inches in length, fitting standard 10-inch filter housings. The 25 micron rating targets sand, silt, rust, and other coarse particulates before they reach fixtures, appliances, or downstream filtration stages. Both the core and media are polypropylene, making this cartridge compatible with a broad range of water chemistry conditions. Maximum flow rate is 20 GPM, and the cartridge is rated for water temperatures up to 140 degrees F.

This cartridge is suited for whole-house sediment pre-filtration, well water systems, irrigation supply lines, and point-of-entry plumbing installations where coarse particulate control is needed. It installs in standard sump-style filter housings that accept 4.5-inch OD by 10-inch cartridges. Plumbers and water treatment technicians typically specify this style of filter at the main service entry or ahead of water heaters, softeners, and reverse osmosis systems to protect downstream equipment.

Key Features

• 25 micron string-wound polypropylene media for coarse sediment reduction
• 4.5 inch outside diameter fits standard 10-inch big-blue and slim housing formats
• Maximum flow rate of 20 GPM supports whole-house and light commercial demand

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge for standard sump-style filter housings that accept a 4.5 inch outside diameter by approximately 9.87 inch polypropylene cartridge.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or experienced water treatment technicians. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Hand-tighten the sump housing after cartridge insertion — do not use a strap wrench to overtighten, as this can crack plastic housings. Follow IPC guidelines for potable water system maintenance intervals and cartridge disposal.
