10″ x 4.5″ 5 Micron Moulded Particle/Sediment Filter Cartridge

If you need finer sediment removal before carbon or RO stages, the 10″ x 4.5″ 5 Micron Moulded Particle / Sediment Filter Cartridge provides tighter mechanical filtration in a high-capacity format.

With a 5 micron rating, it captures fine suspended solids such as silt, rust and particulate debris before they reach sensitive downstream equipment.

What it does

• 5 micron sediment filtration
• Removes fine suspended particles
• Protects carbon cartridges and RO membranes
• Fits standard 10″ x 4.5″ filter housings

The wider 4.5″ diameter offers increased dirt-holding capacity compared to slimmer cartridges, helping maintain flow for longer between changes.

Typical Applications

• Reverse osmosis pre-filtration
• Pond fill and trickle-in systems
• Whole-house sediment filtration
• Water polishing setups

Installation & Maintenance

• Install in a compatible 10″ x 4.5″ housing
• Isolate the water supply before replacement
• Replace when flow drops or the cartridge becomes visibly discoloured
• Monitor system pressure where applicable

Regular cartridge replacement protects downstream filtration stages and helps maintain stable water quality.
