Description
A set of 10 polypropylene 5-micron cartridges for standard 10-inch housings is a practical choice for preliminary mechanical filtration. This water filter cartridge effectively traps sand, silt, rust, and other sediments, supporting water treatment and protection of household plumbing. It fits typical 10" housings and systems such as reverse osmosis filters, RO5 reverse osmosis, and RO6, helping maintain the efficiency of the entire water filtration system.

10-inch 5-micron polypropylene cartridge – mechanical filtration for everyday use
The set includes 10 cartridges made of polypropylene foam (PP), designed for use in standard 10-inch housings. This solution is used wherever effective protection against mechanical impurities present in tap water and well water is needed.
With a filtration accuracy of 5 microns, the cartridges help reduce the presence of suspended matter and fine sediments that can negatively affect fittings, plumbing, and household appliances. They are suitable both for standalone inline housings and for systems such as RO5 and RO6 reverse osmosis systems.
Main advantages
- Very good quality at a favorable price.
- Polypropylene foam cartridges belong to a modern generation of filter cartridges.
- Effectively remove sand, silt, rust, and other sediments present in tap water or well water.
- Help protect domestic heating systems and household appliances.
- Stand out with high contaminant absorption thanks to the structure of polypropylene nonwoven material with an open-cell microbubble foam consistency.
Where will these cartridges work well?
The PP 5-micron mechanical cartridges are intended for preliminary water purification from solid particles. They are used in typical home installations, in 10-inch inline housings, as well as as a pre-stage in systems such as an osmotic filter and reverse osmosis filter.
It is a good choice wherever water may contain sediments that cause faster wear of fittings, valves, heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, or other devices using domestic water.
The cartridge is a mechanical filtration element. Its task is to retain solid contaminants such as sand, silt, or rust. Regular replacement helps maintain filtration efficiency and better protect subsequent water treatment stages and connected devices.
Compatibility and fit
The product fits every type of standard 10-inch housing. It can also be used in housings used in RO5 and RO6 systems. The standard format makes it easy to fit into popular solutions available in home installations.
The cartridge height of 9 7/8 inches corresponds to the typical 10" standard, and the diameter range of 2–2.5 inches allows installation in standard housings designed for this type of cartridge.
Operation and practical use
The cartridge is designed for everyday operation with a maximum flow rate of 20 l/min. Service life is up to 12 months, however the actual usage time depends on water quality and the amount of contaminants retained.
In the case of more contaminated water, replacement may be needed sooner to maintain proper flow and filtration efficiency. Regular inspection of the cartridge condition is a simple way to keep the entire filtration system operating efficiently.

FAQ
Which filters do these cartridges fit?
The cartridges fit standard 10-inch housings. They can also be used in RO5 and RO6 systems and in many popular filter sets using the 10" standard.
What does a 5-micron cartridge trap?
A 5-micron mechanical cartridge helps remove sand, silt, rust, and other sediments and mechanical suspended matter present in tap water or well water.
Is this cartridge suitable for a reverse osmosis system?
Yes, it can work in systems such as RO5 and RO6 reverse osmosis as a pre-filtration stage, protecting subsequent system elements from mechanical contaminants.
How often should the cartridge be replaced?
Cartridge life is up to 12 months, but replacement frequency depends on water quality and the level of contamination. With a greater amount of sediment, replacement may be needed earlier.
What is the maximum flow rate of the cartridge?
The maximum flow rate is up to 20 l/min, which makes the cartridge suitable for typical household water filtration installations.
Does the cartridge protect household appliances?
Yes, mechanical filtration helps limit the ingress of sediments into plumbing and household appliances, supporting their proper operation and potentially reducing the risk of contaminant buildup.
What is the cartridge made of?
The cartridge is made of polypropylene foam. The material structure with open-cell microbubbles provides high absorption of mechanical contaminants.
How many pieces are in the set?
The set includes 10 pieces of 5-micron polypropylene cartridges in the 10-inch standard.
