Value Collection WS-PL-SM0987005 Cartridge Filter 5 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-SM0987005 is a melt-blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter rated at 5 microns for sediment reduction in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Measuring 2.48 inches outside diameter and 9.87 inches in length, it fits standard 10-inch filter housings. The all-polypropylene construction — media, core, and body — resists chemical degradation and is rated for water temperatures up to 176 degrees F and pressures up to 60 psi. Maximum flow rate is 2.00 GPM. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter as a whole-house or point-of-entry sediment stage upstream of fixtures, appliances, or softening equipment.

This filter is suited for residential whole-house filtration, irrigation pre-filtration, and light commercial water treatment applications where sediment, sand, rust, and scale particles must be removed before water reaches sensitive downstream components. The melt-blown thermal bonding process creates a graduated density matrix that traps larger particles at the outer layers and finer particles toward the core, extending service life compared to wound or string-wound alternatives. It is installed inside a standard 10-inch single-sump filter housing by a licensed plumber or water treatment professional.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Do not exceed the rated 60 psi working pressure or 176 degrees F service temperature. Replace the cartridge on a schedule appropriate to local water quality and observed pressure drop across the housing.
