20" Water Purifier 20 Inch 5 Micron Sediment Water Filter

The 20-Inch 5 Micron Sediment Water Filter Cartridge is a depth-type polypropylene (PP) melt-blown filter designed to remove coarse and fine sediment particles from the water supply. With a filtration precision of 5 microns, it effectively captures particles invisible to the naked eye—such as dust, scale, iron flakes, and organic residue—without restricting water flow.

This filter features a graded density structure, meaning the outer layer is looser to trap larger particles, while the inner core is tighter to capture finer particles. This layered design increases the dirt-holding capacity and extends the lifespan of the filter significantly.

It’s safe for use with potable water, food-grade, and BPA-free, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

Tool-free installation makes filter changes quick and hassle-free, whether in homes or industrial setups.

3. Benefits of the 20-Inch 5 Micron Sediment Filter

💧 Improved Water Clarity

Removes visible and microscopic particles that cause cloudiness in water, making it clearer for drinking, bathing, and cooking.

🧰 Protects Downstream Equipment

Serves as the first line of defense in multi-stage systems by trapping sediment and preventing clogging in carbon, RO, and UV filters.

💵 Saves on Maintenance Costs

Longer filter life and reduced clogging mean fewer replacements and lower costs for service and equipment repair.

🧼 Cleaner Appliances and Fixtures

Reduces mineral and dirt buildup in appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters, improving their efficiency and longevity.

🌱 Eco-Friendly Water Treatment

Constructed from recyclable polypropylene and free from adhesives or binders that can leach into the water.

🧪 Consistent Water Quality

Ensures stable water performance for all applications including food service, agriculture, laboratory use, and beverage production.

💨 Maintains Strong Water Pressure

Unlike some fine filters that restrict flow, this 5-micron filter maintains strong pressure while still removing unwanted particles.
