Value Collection WS-PL-BVB098701 Cartridge Filter 1 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-BVB098701 is a melt-blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration applications. Rated at 1 micron, it captures fine sediment particles before they reach downstream fixtures, appliances, or process equipment. The filter measures 4-5/16 inches in outside diameter and 9-7/8 inches in length, fitting standard whole-house and point-of-entry housings common in plumbing filtration systems. It supports a maximum flow rate of 10 gallons per minute and is rated for water temperatures up to 140 degrees F. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter as part of a staged filtration setup or as a standalone sediment barrier.

This cartridge filter is suited for residential whole-house systems, well-water applications, and light commercial installations where sediment control is a priority. It is appropriate wherever particulate contamination — including sand, silt, rust, and scale — is present in the supply line. The all-polypropylene construction, including both the core and media materials, makes it compatible with potable water systems and resistant to bacterial growth within the media. It is sold and packaged individually.

Key Features

• 1-micron rating captures fine sediment including silt, sand, rust, and scale particles
• Melt-blown and thermally bonded polypropylene media for consistent pore structure throughout the depth of the cartridge
• Polypropylene plastic core and media — no binders or adhesives that could leach into water supply
• Maximum flow rate of 10 gallons per minute for efficient whole-house or point-of-entry service
• Rated to 140 degrees F, suitable for both cold and warm water line installations
• Standard 4-5/16 inches OD and 9-7/8 inches length fits widely available filter housings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard drop-in cartridge for plumbing filter housings that accept a 4-5/16 inches outside diameter, 9-7/8 inches long cartridge — typical of many residential and light commercial whole-house sediment filter assemblies.

Installation Notes

This filter is installed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Before replacing the cartridge, shut off the upstream water supply valve and relieve pressure from the filter housing using the housing relief button or by opening a downstream faucet. Follow the housing manufacturer's torque guidelines when reinstalling the sump to avoid housing damage or leaks. Verify that the micron rating is appropriate for the upstream treatment stage and intended application before installation.
