Watts W-7100305 Jumbo Pleated Sediment Filter 20 Micron

Product Description

The WATTS W-7100305 is a jumbo pleated sediment filter cartridge rated at 20 micron filtration. It is designed for high-flow, critical water filtration applications where greater surface area and throughput are required compared to standard-size cartridges. The pleated construction increases filter media surface area, which extends service life and reduces replacement frequency. This cartridge is rated for water temperatures up to 175 degrees F and a maximum operating pressure of 30 psi. Dual O-rings provide a secure, leak-resistant seal. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers of this cartridge type.

The W-7100305 is suited for residential and light commercial water treatment systems where sediment removal is the primary goal. Jumbo-format housings are commonly installed at point-of-entry locations to protect downstream equipment such as water heaters, softeners, and fixtures from particulate fouling. The 20 micron rating targets coarse sediment including sand, silt, rust, and scale particles. Its chemical resistance makes it appropriate for use with a broad range of municipal and well water supplies.
