10″ Slim Line String Wound 10 Micron Polypropylene Filter

Description

The 10″ Slim Line String Wound 10 Micron Polypropylene Filter is an effective sediment filter designed to reduce dirt, rust, sand, silt, and other suspended particles from water. Wound from high-quality polypropylene string on a rigid core, this cartridge delivers consistent performance and longer life in a compact, space-saving form factor — ideal for under-sink systems, point-of-use installations, and whole-house pre-filtration setups.

Key Features

• 10 Micron Nominal Rating – Captures and reduces fine sediment and particles for clearer, cleaner water.
• String Wound Construction – Multi-layer polypropylene design provides gradient filtration and extended dirt-holding capacity.
• Slim Line Format (Standard 10″ × ~2.5″) – Fits most 10″ slim polypropylene housings for space-efficient installation.
• Chemically Compatible Media – Polypropylene is resistant to a wide pH range and works with municipal and well water.
• Clean, Safe Materials – Constructed from food-grade polypropylene with no added binders or adhesives.

Specifications

• Size: 10″ Length × ~2.5″ Diameter (Slim Line)
• Media: Polypropylene string wound
• Micron Rating: 10 micron (nominal)
• Flow Rate: Up to ~2–3 GPM (application dependent)
• Temperature Range: ~40 °F – 125 °F (4 °C – 52 °C)
• Pressure Rating: ~20 – 125 psi

Compatibility

• Fits standard 10″ slim line filter housings (commonly used in under-sink, countertop, and POE systems).
• Works well as a pre-filter ahead of carbon filters, RO membranes, UV systems, and alkaline or specialty cartridges.
• Suitable for municipal and properly treated well water sediment reduction.

Applications

• Whole-house sediment pre-filtration
• Under-sink drinking water systems
• Protection for reverse osmosis and UV systems
• Cottage, RV, and point-of-use installations
• Pre-treatment for specialty filters (carbon, fluoride, KDF, etc.)

Maintenance & Replacement

• Replace regularly based on water quality and sediment load — typically every 3–6 months in heavy sediment conditions (longer in cleaner water).
• Inspect filter housing and O-rings during each change to ensure proper sealing.
• Use a sediment pre-filter upstream of finer filters (carbon, membranes) to prolong their life.

Why Choose a String Wound Polypropylene Filter?

The string wound construction offers a gradient density design that traps larger particles on the outside and finer particles deeper within the filter, resulting in improved dirt-holding capacity and longer service life compared to depth filters of uniform density. Polypropylene’s chemical resistance and affordability make this cartridge a reliable first stage in multi-stage water treatment systems.
