Watco GB1020-24 Filter Cartridge 20 Micron 10x2.5 Inch

Product Description

The WATCO GB1020-24 is a grooved poly-bonded filter cartridge rated at 20 micron filtration. Measuring 10 inches in length and 2.5 inches in diameter, it is designed for use in standard 10-inch filter housings common across residential and light commercial water treatment systems. The poly-bonded construction holds the filtration media together without adhesives, reducing fiber migration into the water supply. The grooved surface increases the effective filtration area and extends service life between replacements. This cartridge is typically installed by plumbers or water treatment technicians performing routine filter maintenance or system upgrades.

This cartridge fits standard 10-inch filter housings used in point-of-entry and point-of-use water filtration applications. It is suited for sediment removal in residential whole-house systems, light commercial applications, and pre-filtration stages ahead of softeners, RO membranes, or UV disinfection units. The 20-micron rating makes it appropriate for filtering coarse sediment such as sand, silt, and rust particles from municipal or well water supplies.

Key Features

• 20-micron filtration rating targets sediment including sand, silt, and rust particles

Compatibility

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. Follow the housing manufacturer's torque guidelines when reassembling the sump to avoid cracking the housing body. Dispose of spent cartridges in accordance with local regulations, particularly if installed on well water with potential biological contamination.
