FAQ

What does a 20 micron sediment filter remove?

This 20-micron sediment (spun polypropylene) removes dirt, sand, silt, rust and loose sediment. First-stage protection — traps grit before it clogs appliances and downstream filters.

Will a 10x4.5 cartridge fit my housing?

Yes if your housing is the standard 10x4.5 size (10" Big Blue). Cartridges are universal by size — any 10x4.5 cartridge fits any 10x4.5 housing regardless of brand. Match the length, diameter and micron.

How often should I change it?

Change every 2–3 months. Hard or dirty water shortens that; a pressure drop or returning taste/odour is your cue to swap sooner.

Which micron rating should I choose?

Lower micron = finer filtration but faster clogging. For sediment, 5 micron is the common all-rounder; 1 micron for fine silt, 20–50 for heavy grit as a first stage.
