Value Collection WS-PL-2000005PP Cartridge Filter 5 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-2000005PP is a string-wound polypropylene cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration applications. Measuring 20 inches in length with a 4.5-inch outside diameter, this filter delivers a 5-micron rating for effective sediment reduction. Constructed entirely from polypropylene — both the media and the core — it handles water temperatures up to 140 degrees F and flow rates up to 40 GPM. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this cartridge in standard whole-house or commercial inline filter housings as part of a point-of-entry filtration system.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where sediment control is a priority. Typical installations include whole-house pre-filtration, irrigation line protection, and inline sediment reduction ahead of water heaters, softeners, or reverse osmosis systems. The string-wound polypropylene construction provides depth filtration, trapping particles progressively through the media layers rather than just at the surface, which extends service intervals under normal sediment loads.

Key Features

• 5-micron rating reduces fine sediment, sand, silt, and rust particles
• String-wound polypropylene media provides depth filtration for extended cartridge life
• Polypropylene core and media construction — no metal components to corrode
• Rated up to 40 GPM maximum flow rate for high-demand applications
• Handles water temperatures up to 140 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge for standard 4.5-inch outside diameter, 20-inch plumbing filter housings commonly used in residential and light commercial point-of-entry sediment filtration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing O-ring and replace if worn before seating the new cartridge. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for potable water filtration service.
