Membrane Solutions 20 Micron Pleated Polyester Sediment Filter, 10x2.5" Replacement Cartridge – Universal Whole House Pre-Filter, 6 Pack (W50PE, WFPFC3002, SPC-25-1050, FM-50-975)

Upgrade your home's water filtration with Membrane Solutions 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Filter

This universal 10" x 2.5" cartridge is designed as a sediment pre-filter with a 20 micron rating. The pleated media provides a balanced approach to sediment removal while maintaining a steady flow, supporting daily tasks from showering to laundry without noticeable pressure drops. The pleated construction increases the usable surface area, catching more grit before it reaches downstream stages in a multi-filter setup.

Designed for compatibility with a wide range of housings, this cartridge serves residential, commercial, and light industrial filtration needs. As the first line of defense in multi-stage systems, it helps protect pipes and downstream equipment from sediment buildup. It is important to note that this filter targets solids and does not remove chlorine or improve taste.

Why the pleated design matters

• Expanded surface area compared to flat-media options, enabling greater sediment capture.
• Better resistance to clogging and a more stable water flow over time.
• Effective at trapping sand, dirt, silt, rust, and scale before reaching appliances.

Performance, lifespan, and maintenance

• Estimated service life: up to 15,000–20,000 gallons, depending on water quality and usage.
• Replace on a regular schedule to maintain filtration performance and minimize re-contamination risk.
• Washable and reusable when conditions are clean, helping you maximize filtration control between changes.

In real-world use, this cartridge fits inside standard 9-7/8" length, 2-1/2" outer diameter, and 1-1/10" inner diameter housings, making it suitable for bench-top, under-sink, or whole-house setups. It serves as a practical pre-filter in residential, commercial, or light industrial filtration sequences and pairs well with additional filtration stages designed to address broader water quality goals.

What you get in a 6-pack

• Six 10" x 2.5" pleated sediment filter cartridges ready for installation.
• Designed for universal compatibility with common pre-filter housings and Membrane Solutions systems.
• A cost-effective way to maintain steady water flow and reduce sediment-related wear across your filtration setup.

Note: This filter does not remove chlorine or improve taste. For comprehensive water quality improvements, consider additional filtration stages addressing taste and odor.
