5 Micron 10" Sediment Filter Cartridge – High-Capacity Pre-Filter for Reverse Osmosis Systems

Protect your reverse osmosis system and enjoy clearer, better-tasting water with our premium 5 micron 10-inch sediment filter. As the essential first stage in most RO and RODI setups, this durable polypropylene cartridge effectively traps dirt, sand, rust, silt, and other suspended particles larger than 5 microns (that's finer than the width of a human hair, which is around 50 microns).

Manufactured to high standards, this full-size (2.5" x 10") filter offers extra-high dirt-holding capacity and exceptional durability, ensuring longer service life and fewer replacements. It fits standard 10-inch RO housings used in domestic reverse osmosis systems, whole-house pre-filtration, or as a standalone sediment remover.

Key Benefits

• Crystal-clear water — Removes visible and fine sediments for noticeably clearer, more palatable drinking water.
• Extended system life — Acts as a protective pre-filter, preventing clogging and damage to downstream components like RO membranes, UV lamps, pumps, and post-filters.
• Reliable performance — High-capacity design handles heavy sediment loads (ideal for well water, borehole supplies, or areas with older plumbing prone to rust/particles).
• Easy installation & compatibility — Standard size fits most 10" RO units and filter housings—no tools or modifications needed.
