Watts 7100351 Sediment Filter Cartridge 50 Micron 10 in

Product Description

The WATTS 7100351 is a full-flow sediment depth filter cartridge designed for broad water treatment and fluid filtration applications. Constructed from melt-blown polypropylene, it delivers reliable particle removal at a 50-micron rating without restricting flow rate. The melt-blown construction eliminates media migration, making it suitable for potable water systems and other sensitive applications. At 10 inches in length with a 4.5-inch outside diameter, the cartridge fits standard big-blue style housings. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers, though experienced facility maintenance staff also handle replacements in commercial settings.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial filtration systems where sediment control is required upstream of sensitive equipment or distribution points. Rated applications include potable water, beverage processing, pre-filtration stages, fine chemical handling, electronics manufacturing rinse water, metal finishing, and plating solutions. The food-grade polypropylene material meets requirements for food and beverage contact, and the high dirt-holding capacity extends service intervals between cartridge changes.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician should perform cartridge replacement in potable water systems. Shut off the supply line and relieve pressure from the filter housing before opening. Use a filter housing wrench to avoid cracking the sump, and inspect O-rings for wear before reassembling. Follow applicable local plumbing codes when servicing potable water filtration equipment.
