10″ Standard String Sediment Filter
10″ Standard Polypropylene String Wound Sediment Filter – Reliable Pre‑Filter
The 10″ standard polypropylene string wound sediment filter is a high-quality cartridge designed to trap sand, silt, rust, and other suspended solids from water. This 10″ string wound filter acts as a pre-filter to protect downstream filtration systems, such as carbon blocks, UV sterilizers, and RO membranes, reducing maintenance and improving overall water quality.
Made from 100% polypropylene, the string wound construction provides depth filtration, capturing debris throughout the media rather than just on the surface. The 10″ standard size fits most household and commercial filter housings, ensuring easy installation and replacement.
How the 10″ String Wound Sediment Filter Works
Water flows from the outside to the inside of the cartridge, with larger particles caught in the outer layers and finer sediment trapped deeper inside. This depth filtration design increases dirt-holding capacity, maintains flow rates, and prevents clogging over extended periods.
