Measuring 10 inches in length and 2.5 inches in diameter, this cartridge filters particulate matter down to 5 microns. The grooved outer surface increases the effective filtration area, extending service life compared to smooth-wound alternatives. The poly-bonded construction holds its form under normal operating pressure and resists media migration into the filtered water stream. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this cartridge in standard whole-house or point-of-entry filter housings during routine maintenance cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge is suited for residential whole-house sediment filtration, well water pre-filtration, and light commercial water conditioning applications. It is typically installed as the first stage in a multi-stage filtration system to remove sand, silt, rust, and other suspended particles before water reaches finer filters or softeners. Its 2.5-inch diameter fits standard filter housings commonly found in residential plumbing installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-micron filtration rating removes fine sediment including sand, silt, and rust particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrooved outer surface increases dirt-holding capacity and extends cartridge service intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePoly-bonded construction resists media migration and maintains structural integrity under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch length and 2.5-inch diameter fit standard residential filter housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for use in whole-house and point-of-entry sediment filtration systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement cartridge for standard 10-inch by 2.5-inch residential and light commercial filter housings used in sediment prefiltration applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician.
