Description
Whole House Inline Water Filter 1" + 5x PP20 USTM String Filter Cartridge is a robust water filter designed for installation at the cold water inlet to a house, apartment, or before selected household appliances. This practical water filtration system helps protect the plumbing, fittings, and appliances from sand, silt, and rust, while the transparent housing makes it easy to monitor the cartridge condition on an ongoing basis. The set includes 5 PP20 mechanical cartridges, a mounting wrench, seals, and a mounting plate, making it a ready-to-use solution for preliminary water treatment in the home.

Effective protection for plumbing and devices throughout the home
The 10" inline housing filter with a 1" connection is a reliable solution for users who expect effective protection of the home water system. Installed on the cold water supply, it helps reduce the passage of mechanical impurities into faucets, valves, fittings, and household appliances.
It is a good choice wherever durability of the installation, ease of use, and compatibility with popular 10" cartridges matter. The filter can operate as a single filtration point or as part of a larger setup, e.g. as a pre-filtration stage before a more advanced water filtration system.
Versatile application
- Ideal for installation on the cold water pipe supplying an apartment or before expensive household appliances.
- Works with a wide range of mechanical, specialized, and carbon cartridges available on the market.
- The set includes 5 string filter cartridges with 20M filtration accuracy.
Thanks to its universal design, the housing can be used both as a main filter at the building inlet and as protection for selected appliances. It is a practical solution for people who want to take care of their domestic water and at the same time extend the service life of plumbing components.
How the PP20 string cartridge works
The string cartridge, also referred to as a nonwoven cartridge, is one of the most commonly used solutions in mechanical filtration. Its operation consists in retaining impurities by means of a dense weave of fibers through which the water flows.

This filter cartridge effectively supports everyday treatment of domestic water and acts as the first barrier for solid particles present in the installation.
Key features of mechanical filtration
- Retains all impurities down to 20 microns in size.
- Features a gradient structure, ensuring more precise and more efficient filtration.
- The USTM cartridge is characterized by a higher density of the string fiber weave compared with other cartridges available on the market.
- Excellent for inline filters used for the whole house or apartment and for kitchen water filters installed under the sink.
- Recommended for protecting water installations, household appliances, and fittings.
- Has PZH certification.
- Manufactured in Poland.
Increased filtration efficiency
Thanks to the variation in fiber density and type along the cartridge, different types of impurities can be retained more effectively. Fibers with varying density efficiently capture particles of different sizes, which translates into better quality purified water.
Longer cartridge service life
The gradient structure of string cartridges helps extend the time of use before clogging. In practice, this means less frequent cartridge replacement, greater operating stability, and lower maintenance costs for the entire system.

Durable housing construction
The two-piece 10" inline housing by WodaRO® provides reliable protection for the water installation and convenient everyday use.
- It consists of a transparent housing and a head with a 1" brass thread.
- The durable, high-quality body ensures safe and stable operation.
- The transparent housing allows easy assessment of the cartridge contamination level.
Dual sealing system
- Equipped with two sealing O-rings, ensuring maximum product tightness.
- The seal also helps maintain pressure inside the inline housing, preventing air from entering the system.
Air release valve and safe system operation
The housing is equipped with an air release valve, which plays an important role in everyday filter operation.
- The air release valve allows pressure inside the housing to be balanced with atmospheric pressure, eliminating the risk of damage to the filtration or sealing elements.
- Thanks to the air release valve, water filters and inline housings can operate more efficiently, regardless of operating conditions and pressure in the water installation, which translates into improved water quality and longer service life of the devices.

Flexible system expansion
The filter can be installed individually or connected in series, which makes it easy to adapt the setup to the user's needs. This is a practical feature both in simple domestic installations and where further expansion of the filtration system with additional treatment stages is planned.
In home installations, such a housing often forms the first stage of domestic water protection before more precise solutions are applied, such as a carbon filter, osmotic filter, reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis, or a complete reverse osmosis system for drinking water. This way, mechanical impurities are captured right at the beginning of the circuit.
Easy installation and set contents
The set has been assembled to allow quick and correct installation. The package includes the elements needed to mount and start the filter.
- inline housing,
- sealing O-rings,
- housing removal wrench,
- mounting plate,
- seals,
- 5 x PP20 filter cartridge (mechanical, string).
The filter is intended for cold water. The transparent housing makes it easy to check the level of cartridge contamination, and regular replacement of the filter element helps maintain high protection efficiency for the installation. Cartridge service life depends on water quality and the intensity of use.

FAQ
What is the Whole House Inline Water Filter 1" + 5x PP20 USTM String Filter Cartridge 1" used for?
The filter is used for mechanical purification of cold water from impurities such as sand, silt, or rust. It is most often installed at the water inlet to a house or apartment, or before household appliances requiring additional protection.
Is the Whole House Inline Water Filter 1" + 5x PP20 USTM String Filter Cartridge suitable for whole-house installation?
Yes, it is a flow filter designed to operate in a home installation as a pre-filter at the water inlet. Thanks to the 1" connection and 10" cartridge standard, it works well as protection for the entire installation.
Which cartridges are included in the set?
The set includes 5 PP20 filter cartridges. These are mechanical string cartridges with 20-micron filtration accuracy.
What impurities does the PP20 cartridge remove?
The cartridge retains mechanical impurities up to 20 microns in size. This means effective protection against typical solid particles present in domestic water, such as sand, sediment, silt, or rust particles.
Can cartridges other than the included PP20 be used?
Yes, the housing works with a wide range of mechanical, specialized, and carbon cartridges available on the market, provided they are compatible with the 10" standard.
Is the filter suitable for hot water?
No, the filter is intended for cold water. The maximum operating temperature is from 2 to 45 degrees Celsius, so it should only be used within the range intended for this model.
How do I check the cartridge wear level?
The transparent housing helps with this, as it allows a quick assessment of the cartridge contamination level without removing the housing. In practice, this makes it easier to plan replacement and maintain effective filtration.
What does the dual sealing system provide?
Two sealing O-rings increase the housing tightness and help maintain proper pressure inside the system. This helps reduce the risk of leaks and air entering the system.
Why is there an air release valve in the housing?
The air release valve equalizes the pressure inside the housing with atmospheric pressure. This reduces the risk of damage to filtration or sealing elements and supports more stable operation of the entire system.
How often should the filter cartridge be replaced?
The cartridge service life is up to 14000 liters or up to 6 months. The actual service interval depends on water quality and usage intensity, so it is worth regularly checking the cartridge contamination level.
Choose a set or individual cartridges. Replacement intervals depend on the cartridge and operating conditions.
