Filter cartridge Swiss Aqua 39269097 10 μm for HomeFilter — depth sediment replacement cartridge

The Swiss Aqua 39269097 10 μm depth sediment cartridge is a replacement filter designed for HomeFilter housings. It provides particulate removal at a nominal 10 micrometer rating, capturing sand, rust and other suspended solids to protect downstream appliances and improve water clarity. The cartridge is intended for routine maintenance in household water treatment setups and fits standard HomeFilter housings.

Advantages

This depth sediment cartridge offers reliable particle retention through multi-layer media that traps contaminants throughout the filter body rather than only on the surface. The 10 μm rating balances fine filtration with sustained flow, helping to maintain water pressure while reducing visible turbidity. The cartridge is compatible with common HomeFilter housings, allows straightforward replacement during scheduled maintenance, and helps extend the service life of faucets, appliances and subsequent finer filters.

Suitable for

• Household whole-house or point-of-entry sediment pre-filtration
• Protecting water-using appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters)
• Improving clarity of well or municipal water with visible particles, sand or rust
• Routine maintenance replacement in HomeFilter standard housings

Key specifications

• Filtration rating: 10 micrometers (nominal)
• Filter type: depth sediment cartridge
• Media: multi-layer depth filtration material
• Compatibility: designed for standard HomeFilter housings
• Function: removes sand, rust particles and suspended solids

How to use

Shut off the water supply to the filter housing and relieve pressure by opening a downstream faucet. Unscrew the housing, remove the spent cartridge and dispose of it according to local regulations. Insert the new Swiss Aqua 10 μm depth sediment cartridge, ensuring it is seated correctly and the housing O-ring is intact and lubricated if required. Reassemble the housing, open the water supply, and check for leaks. Flush the system for several minutes or until water runs clear before resuming normal use.

Usage recommendations

Replace the cartridge at regular intervals based on local water quality and household water usage—inspect more frequently if source water contains high levels of sediment. Use gloves when handling spent cartridges and follow local disposal requirements. If flow rate decreases significantly before the scheduled replacement, change the cartridge sooner to maintain protection for downstream equipment.
