Value Collection WS-PL-TCB097503 Cartridge Filter 30 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-TCB097503 is a pleated polyester cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration systems. With a 30-micron rating, it targets sediment particles that can foul fixtures, valves, and downstream equipment. The pleated polyester media increases surface area compared to wound or spun designs, supporting a maximum flow rate of 10.00 GPM while maintaining filtration efficiency. A polypropylene plastic core provides structural rigidity under operating pressure. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter in standard whole-house or point-of-entry housings as part of routine water quality maintenance.

This cartridge is suited for residential whole-house filter systems and light commercial point-of-entry applications where sediment control is the primary objective. Its 2.5-inch outside diameter and 9.75-inch length fit standard 10-inch filter housings commonly found in plumbing supply lines. It handles water temperatures up to 125 degrees F, making it appropriate for cold and warm water service lines. Typical installations include pre-filtration ahead of water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, and tankless water heaters where sediment loading can degrade performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing.

Inspect the housing O-ring for wear or cracking and replace it if needed before reinstalling the housing cap.
